Out past Halfway Pond the woods close in and the snow lies deeper than it ever does down by the water. Lawrence Landscaping and Son runs both ends of the Plymouth year — plowing and shoveling when a storm comes through, sand and salt down before daylight, then mowing, trimming and edging once the ground dries out in April. Cleanups bracket everything: beds opened in spring, leaves gathered and hauled in fall. Winter nights are long here and the phone rings early. A driveway cleared to the pavement before the workday starts is the kind of thing people still mention in July.
