Montgomery sits just upriver from Oswego, and in winter its yards and lots take the same wind that comes down the Fox valley with nothing at all to break it. Montgomery Landscape Materials, Inc. turns to snow work when the season closes in — plowing drives and lots, opening entries, spreading salt where ice sets up overnight. Piles get pushed to the corners that won't block a sight line or flood a lane when the thaw comes. Storms across Kendall and Kane County rarely arrive politely, so the equipment stays ready and the routes stay tight. Ground cleared before business hours is the entire assignment.
