Snow flattens a place into a single blank sheet: driveway edge, culvert, the low corner of the yard, all of it gone under the same six inches. Statewide Surveying PLLC does winter work around Gladwin with a good sense of what lies underneath — moving snow off driveways and walkways, keeping the blade where it belongs and the piles where they do no harm. Winter runs long enough here that mistakes compound; a bank shoved into the wrong spot in December is still a nuisance in March. Done properly, a cleared drive has the same shape it had in July, only narrower and whiter. Gladwin and the surrounding townships, storm after storm.
