The oaks around Big Rock stand over the same lanes all year, and Harper's Landscaping works under them in two very different moods. Warm months mean mowing on a set rotation, trimming and edging along walks and beds, and clearing the yard of everything spring shakes loose. Cold months mean plowing and shoveling those same drives at whatever hour the storm decides, with treatment where the shade keeps a patch slick past noon. There's a nice symmetry in it — the customer who waves from a freshly cut lawn in July is the one whose walk gets opened first in January. Either season, the job ends when the surface is clean and the tools are back on the truck.
