About Owens Professional Landscape Design LLC

North Greenbelt runs quiet and wooded out around the gates of Goddard Space Flight Center, and on a clear January night the cold there has a hard, starry edge to it. Owens Professional Landscape Design LLC works those nights — plowing drives and lots, cutting walkways down to the bare surface, laying salt ahead of the refreeze that always comes near four in the morning. Snow in this county rarely arrives once and simply stays; it melts, it runs, it locks up again inside the same forty-eight hours, so the job is as much about the days after as the storm itself. Clearing a property properly means thinking about where the meltwater will go when the sun finally reaches it. By daylight everything is open, dry underfoot and completely unremarkable, which is exactly how it should look.
