In January the Winthrop lakes go hard and white and the town gets quiet in the particular way only a lake town can. M&R Landscaping & Tree Service is up before that quiet breaks — plowing driveways, shoveling walks and steps, sanding the grades along Route 202 that ice over first. Storm work is unglamorous and that is exactly the point: a clear drive at daybreak means somebody gets where they are going on time. In the green half of the year the same properties get mowed, trimmed, edged, mulched and cleaned up spring and fall. Two halves of one calendar, one set of yards, looked after right the whole way around.
