When an ice storm comes through Salem County, Alloway Lake goes silver and every hedge in the village turns to glass by morning. Connors Landscaping & Construction works those days and the ones after — plowing out drives, cutting walks clear down to the surface, and treating the slick stretches around the old brick houses at the crossroads. Construction and grading work sits alongside it: reshaping ground, building out the hard edges of a property so the landscape has something to rest against. Once the thaw takes hold, the mowers come out and the season turns to steady cutting, edging and cleanups through the long farm-country summer. Ground that has been shaped well and cut clean simply looks settled, and that is the whole point of doing it carefully.
