Winter dusk comes fast to Brockton in January — four o'clock and the granite curbs are already blue. Exclusive Hardscapes Corporation spends those short afternoons pushing snow off driveways, walkways and parking aprons, opening a path before the evening freeze locks everything down. Stone and pavement show every shortcut, so the clearing goes right to the surface, edge to edge. Piles get stacked where they will melt away from the pavement rather than back across it. A property kept open all storm looks after everyone who has to cross it.
