From Platt Hill you can see how much of Winchester is simply up — ridgeline behind ridgeline, and enough elevation that snow falls here while it is still rain in the valley. Outdoor Property Maintenance takes the year in two halves. The green half is mowing, edging, string trimming, mulch and the cleanups at both ends. The white half is plowing driveways and lots, snow blowing, shoveling walks and steps, and putting salt and sand on the ice that this corner of Connecticut makes plenty of. Same properties, same attention, two completely different sets of hours and equipment.
