The road between Rochester and Springfield is the first thing to glaze over when a January system slides through, and the driveways along it aren't far behind. Springfield Lawn Care runs both halves of the calendar here: plowing and shoveling drives, walks and steps at whatever hour the snow finally quits, spreading salt at the spots that ice first, then swapping over to weekly mowing, trimming and edging once the ground thaws and the yards start pushing. Between the village and Lake Springfield the wind carries hard, and a drive that was clear at midnight can want a second pass by six. Getting there before people need to leave is the entire point. A cleared drive at dawn and a level lawn in July are the same promise wearing different weather.
