When a storm sets in from the west it reaches Lake Templene and the Nottawa flats before it ever gets to town, and by dark the drives are filling in. The Idriss Company Landscaping LLC plows through nights like that — lots opened, drives pushed back out to their real width, walkways cleared until a doorway is a doorway again. Then April arrives, the ground softens, and the same work turns to landscape upkeep and mowing: lawns cut, edges trimmed, beds and borders brought back into line after the thaw. The two halves of the year call for different tools and exactly the same attention. A place ought to look tended in February and in July alike.
