In February the birches on Kenilworth's western streets stand pale against a sky the color of slate, and the first Watchung ridge sends weather down over the borough with very little warning. White Birch Landscape Contractors takes those storms as they arrive — plowing driveways, cutting walkways open, salting the frozen shade along the north side of a house. Then the thaw comes, the grass wakes, and the work turns to mowing, trimming, edging and the cleanups that clear away everything winter left behind. Two trades, one address list, and a town that genuinely needs both. What stays with you is the hush of a cleared driveway at first light, before anyone has driven across it.
