February in Brighton is a daily negotiation: a little melt at noon, a hard glaze by six, and a US-23 commute that leaves before the sun is up. Elements INC plows and salts through all of it — driveways opened, lots scraped down, walkways treated so the refreeze has nothing to grab hold of. When the frost finally comes out of the ground in April, those same properties get raked out and the mowing begins, running to November without much of a pause. Trimming, edging and the last leaf haul close the year. The addresses stay the same all twelve months; only the equipment changes.
