Sleet is the real test on Schuyler Avenue, where the ground climbs and every driveway apron tips toward the street. EFB paving & masonry llc handles the winter side of that geography: plowing the drive, clearing the walk and steps by hand, and putting salt down before a wet inch turns into a sheet of glass overnight. Knowing how a slab is set makes a difference in the clearing of it — where water runs, where it pools, which corner freezes first when the sun swings behind the houses. Storms here often arrive as rain and finish as ice, so timing matters more than muscle. The reward is a car that backs out without a slip and a mail carrier who never gives the front walk a second thought.
