On a clear winter night in Lacey Township the pines stand black against a sky full of stars, and the only sound on the street is a plow working its way down the block. Skyline Tree Services runs snow removal through those nights, pushing driveways open, clearing walks to the pavement and salting where the cold sets a glaze on the concrete. Storms coming across the bay can drop wet, heavy snow that turns to concrete by morning, which is why the first push goes in early and a second follows when the weather finally quits. There is something satisfying about finishing a route at first light with every drive on it open. Nobody sees the hours; they just see a clear property when they need one. Snow work, start to finish, for as long as the storm runs.
