Highland Road runs west out of White Lake Township in a straight dark line, and at three in the morning in January it belongs to the plows. Arrowhead Hardscapes LLC. works that hour — the one before the coffee makers click on, when a clipper storm has laid four inches over every driveway between Ormond Road and Bogie Lake. The blade goes down, the drive opens, the walk gets cleared to the concrete, and salt goes where the ice would otherwise set. By the time the sky turns the color of skim milk over the kettle lakes, cars are backing out onto bare pavement. That is the whole point of the work, and it is a good one to wake up for.
