The roads climbing toward High Mountain do not run straight; they bend, and every bend hides a driveway a plow has to think about before entering it. Elite Landscape Design handles Franklin Lakes snow on exactly that terrain — plowing, opening walkways and stairs, and applying salt and ice melt where the grade would otherwise take a car for a ride. A storm coming over the Ramapos can drop wet snow at the bottom of a hill and dry powder two hundred feet up the same road. The crew reads it as it goes, then returns when the wind fills a cut back in. By the time the truck pulls out, the pavement is dark and the turnaround is wide enough to actually use.
