Winter wind reaches New Lothrop with nothing in its way — straight down from Saginaw Bay, across open sections, and into every driveway in the village past the elevator. Schnell's Services Inc. answers it with plow trucks: drives and lots opened, walkways cleared, salt laid where ice takes hold, and return trips when the wind rebuilds a drift over the same spot. In the growing season the work switches to lawns — mowing on schedule, trimming, edging, and seasonal cleanups on properties in and around the village. Farm-country parcels are big and the weather here is direct, so the job comes down to starting early and finishing the corners. Both halves of the year end with the same result: a place you can drive into without thinking about it.
