February in the Fox valley is a trickster month. The sun gets strong enough at noon to send meltwater running across a driveway, and by dusk that same water has turned into something you cannot see and should not walk on. Damian's Landscaping & Snowplowing plows for the storm and then comes back for the thaw, scraping the slush before it locks up and putting down ice melt where the runoff always chooses to go. Walks get shoveled to the concrete, not to a compacted gray layer that will freeze into a hazard. A drive that stays walkable through a whole freeze-and-thaw week is the honest measure of the job, and that is what neighbors in Algonquin and the towns nearby are offered.
