March snow in the Illinois valley comes heavy and wet, the kind that bows branches and sits on a driveway like poured concrete. Ted Durdel Landscaping and Tree Service Inc plows straight through it — pushing that weight back where it won't refreeze across an entrance, clearing walks to bare concrete, salting the low shaded runs near the ravines where meltwater collects. Peoria's hillside streets and wooded lots make the job harder than any flat parking area ever will. Doing it right means a drive that's still open when the afternoon thaw runs across it and stiffens again after dark. The work ends where the pavement shows.
