North of town the land lifts toward Northville and the water gathers at Wilcox, and ground up there drains and freezes on a schedule all its own. Highland Landscaping & Snowplowing works with that instead of against it: mowing, trimming, edging, fertilizing and weed control while things grow, cleanups at the hinges of the year, and plowing, shoveling and salting once the rise goes white. Slope changes everything about a driveway in February — where ice forms, where a plow can push, which strip of walk needs salt first. Getting it right means someone walks to the car without once thinking about their footing. That is the measure of the work, in both directions of the calendar.
