Alpha Lawn and Snow

About Alpha Lawn and Snow

Long before the sun clears the Rims, the clock on the old Northern Pacific depot is still the only light on Montana Avenue, and Alpha Lawn and Snow is usually already out ahead of it, plowing the lots that will fill with cars within the hour. Billings wakes up slowly in a hard winter, ice fog sometimes holding low over the Yellowstone until midmorning, and getting a driveway or a loading dock clear before that fog burns off matters to the people who have somewhere to be. The company works residential streets and commercial lots alike, moving fast enough that a business can open its doors without anyone slipping on the step. There's something almost quiet about that early work, trucks moving under streetlights while the rest of downtown sleeps, blades scraping down to pavement one pass at a time. By the time the depot clock catches full daylight, the hard part of the storm is usually already behind them.
