Southwest of the city the fields open out toward Lodi Township and Saline, and in winter the wind treats them like a runway. Top Notch Gardening & Snow Removal works that country: plowing driveways and parking areas, clearing walkways and steps by hand, and salting where the crossing wind polishes a surface to glass. Drifts out here rebuild themselves an hour after you leave, so the job is counted in return trips rather than single passes. There is an honest pleasure in a long rural drive opened end to end, banks pushed back far enough to matter for the rest of the week. The land is soft and green most of the year; winter is the season that asks for help.
