A Lacey Township driveway takes the whole winter personally: freeze at night, thaw at noon, salt spray riding in on the wind off the water. Topcoat Paving & Seal Coating knows those surfaces from the ground up, and in the cold months the trucks go out plowing them — blade set clean, drive opened end to end, the apron by the street pushed back so nobody has to climb a ridge to get home. Walks and steps get cleared and treated, because the ice that forms on a January afternoon is the ice somebody meets in the dark. There is real pride in pulling out of a property at dawn and seeing nothing but bare blacktop behind you. Storms here can run long and come back twice, so the route gets run again. Snow removal, done with respect for the pavement underneath it.
