Driveway Maintenance

About Driveway Maintenance

Four in the morning on Gardner's Neck, the bay air heavy and the streetlights full of falling snow, is the shift Driveway Maintenance keeps. Long shore driveways get opened end to end, steps and walkways cleared by hand, ice treated before it can set into the shaded stretch near the garage. The point is simple and it is the whole job: a car backs out clean, no shoveling, no guessing at the bottom of the drive. After the town truck goes through, the apron at the street gets opened a second time so one pass of the plow does not undo the morning. Swansea wakes up, and the driveway is already done.
