Nelson Company

About Nelson Company

The wind crossing Tukey's Bridge doesn't ask permission, and a January storm can come in as rain, turn to sleet, and finish as snow before the tide changes. Nelson Company works the snow end of Portland property care — plowing, clearing walks and entries, and applying salt and sand where the freeze sets in behind the storm. Mixed precipitation is the hardest weather this coast serves up, because what falls soft at midnight is armor by six. Timing the passes right is the difference between a clear driveway and a skating rink. Routes run through Portland and out to Falmouth, South Portland, Westbrook and Cumberland.
