About Exclusive Edge

At four in the morning the Village of Clarkston keeps its own counsel: the Mill Pond lies under a lid of ice, and the night's snowfall has filled every footprint on the village streets. That is the hour Exclusive Edge works toward, bringing snow removal to a nineteenth-century village whose lanes were laid out long before anyone imagined a plow. One pass of the blade turns a buried driveway back into a dark strip of pavement, and the path to the front door opens up right behind it. By the time Clarkston's porch lights blink on, the snow is still on the rooftops and branches, where it looks lovely, and gone from every place a boot or tire needs to go. Few things feel as orderly as a village handed back to its morning.
