About Trademark Landscapes

Four in the morning in Almira township is a particular kind of dark: cedar swamp close on both sides of the road, snow coming down straight and steady, headlights making a tunnel of it toward Interlochen. Trademark Landscapes works those hours in winter, plowing and clearing drives and lots across Benzie County. Storms out of the west stack up all night and taper near sunrise, so the last pass is usually the one that counts. Walks get shoveled, entrances get opened, banks get shoved wide so the next storm has somewhere to go. It is cold, quiet, useful work, and the township wakes up able to leave the house.
