Cherry Creek Maintenance

About Cherry Creek Maintenance

Hickory Creek runs through Mokena in a low wooded seam, and in February the whole valley goes blue-white and motionless after a storm. Cherry Creek Maintenance works that kind of morning: plowing drives, clearing walks and steps, and spreading salt where the ice sets up along shaded north sides. The measure of it is simple — the car gets out, the mail carrier gets up the walk, nobody slips. Snow keeps its own hours, so the trucks roll when it falls rather than when it would suit anyone. Mokena wakes up and the day just works.
