M-24 runs the whole length of Oxford, and when a storm parks over Lapeer Road the parking lots turn white in about the time it takes to close up shop. I-Scape Landscaping works those hours — plowing lots and drives, stacking piles where they will not block a sightline, clearing walks and putting down ice control before the morning crowd shows up. Storms around here rarely arrive politely; they come sideways at nine at night or leave two inches of glazed slush waiting at four in the morning. The reward is unglamorous and complete: black pavement, square corners, curb to curb, before anyone has had to think about it. Snow removal for Oxford and the roads that feed into it.
