About Groundsman Resources

South of downtown Springfield the land folds into the first low ridges of the Ozarks, and on a cold morning fog rises out of the hollows between them faster than the sun can clear it. Groundsman Resources works the hillside streets and sloped driveways in that part of the Queen City, where a plow has to account for grade as much as snowfall, since ice on an Ozark hill behaves differently than ice on flat ground. The crew drops blades early, working the inclines first before morning traffic starts testing them, then moves out to the flatter lots and lanes nearby. Springfield's weather can flip fast, a clear Ozark morning turning into a fast-moving system by afternoon, and Groundsman Resources plans its routes around whichever hills will ice first. There's a particular kind of attention that hill country snow removal demands, one eye always on the grade.
