The old rail line runs dead straight through Southwick's flat farm country, and straight lines suit this kind of work. Tynic Landscaping cuts them all summer — mowing on a set rotation, trimming fence rows and hydrant corners, edging walks and drives, clearing lawns and beds in spring and again once the leaves come down. Winter hands the same routes over to the plow: driveways and lots opened, walkways shoveled, salt and sand down before black ice sets into the low spots. Out where the fields are wide, snow does not stay where it lands, and a drive cleared at midnight can want a second visit at five. Coming back is simply part of it.
