The first real storm usually shows up in November, before anybody has found their gloves. STK Landscaping and Contracting is ready for it around Milwaukee Junction and the old workshop blocks north of downtown — plowing lots, clearing the back drives and alleys other trucks skip, shoveling entries and putting salt where it belongs. Tight, awkward ground calls for a smaller blade and a lot more patience, and that describes most of what winter asks in this part of the city. Cleared and treated, a back lot goes back to being simply a back lot. Snow removal for the hard-to-reach corners.
