The first real snow usually reaches the bridle paths along Loantaka Brook before it reaches anybody's driveway, and by then MVP Landscaping Company LLC is already rolling. They plow and salt across Chatham Township — drives, walkways and parking areas — through the stretch of winter when River Road glazes over in the low spots near the Passaic. Once the melt comes they go back to mowing, edging and trimming, feeding and overseeding lawns on a weekly schedule from spring into fall. Cleanups at both ends of the year lift the leaf fall and the winter debris so turf starts the season even. It is a full circuit of the calendar, and the standard does not change with the month.
