There is an hour in a mid-Michigan winter — two or three in the morning, the sky low and orange with cloud light — when the only thing moving on the section roads is a plow truck. Depew Landscaping & Outdoor Services keeps that hour, pushing driveways, walks and lots around Eaton Rapids so people can back out at seven and never give it a thought. Summer runs the other way: mowing, trimming, edging and landscaping through the long green weeks when the fields south of town go shoulder-high. Both jobs come down to the same thing, which is being there on the day the calendar says. A drive opened all the way to the pavement, banks pushed back far enough to take the next storm; a lawn cut on its regular round. That is what the truck is for.
