Thorntown took its name from the thorn thickets early settlers found along Sugar Creek, and though the thorns are long gone, the creek still cuts through town the same way, running low and clear past the old Main Street storefronts before winter locks its edges in ice. Redwood Landscape Llc works the yards and driveways on both sides of that creek, plowing snow in the cold months with the same attention it gives a summer planting bed, moving between a handful of in-town blocks and the farmhouses out on the Boone County section roads beyond them. A snowfall here tends to come in off the open fields with nothing to slow it down, so a driveway that looked fine at dusk can be drifted shut by the next morning, and getting out ahead of that is most of the job. Main Street stays small and quiet under any amount of snow, a few blocks of brick buildings that have seen a couple centuries of Indiana winters come through. This crew treats every one of those driveways — creek-side or cornfield-edge — like the one thing standing between a Thorntown household and a shut-in day.
