About Green Touch Grounds & Landscaping

The stone terraces at Sunken Gardens sit empty and snow-covered for most of the winter, and it's a short walk from there to some of the blocks Green Touch Grounds & Landscaping clears along Antelope Park, working driveways and walks under the same bare trees that shade the garden in July. Snow tends to sit longest on the shaded, north-facing steps in this part of town, so the crew goes back over spots a straight pass would miss. Clearing a walk down to bare concrete along a park block has a different feel than clearing an open lot — the paths curve, and every stretch has to be worked by hand at some point. Leaving a whole run of sidewalks along the park bare and dry, while the terraced garden across the street stays quietly buried until spring, is the kind of contrast the job turns up all winter. By afternoon, with the low winter sun barely clearing the park's trees, the day's routes are done and the block is passable again.
