Before six on a January morning the river valley is dark and still and full of people who have to get to work regardless. Onsight lawncare LLC and Snow Removal is out ahead of them, plowing driveways, clearing walks and salting the slick places so the day can start on time. The rest of the year those same routes get mowed, trimmed, edged and cleaned up, with grass instead of snow setting the pace. It is the same idea in either season: reach a property before the people living there need it. A cleared drive at first light is a small kindness that reads as effort, because that is what it is.
