West of the village the subdivisions give out and the fields take over, and that open ground is where the wind gets its running start. Scott Flanagan Landscape knows what an afternoon squall does out here — how a cleared driveway can fill again by dark, drifted crosswise into a low white wall against the garage door. So the work is patient and repeated: the plow back through, the drift cut down, the walk opened a second time, salt laid where the wind scours a path to glass. New Lenox winters reward whoever is willing to come back and finish the job properly. The reward is simple and it holds all season — a drive you can pull straight into, right down to the pavement.
