In Jockey Hollow the hemlocks hold their snow for days, and Primrose Brook runs black between white banks all winter long. Alpine Tree Service works the town side of those woods, clearing drives and walks on Morristown's western slopes where the wind comes down through the trees and drifts the same corner every single storm. Plowing, hand-shoveling the steps, salting the shaded stretches that never see enough sun to melt on their own — plain work done in the cold, and doing it right means someone leaves for work on time. This ground taught the Continental Army what a Morris County winter can be, and the town has been answering it ever since. A black driveway against all that white looks like the day starting on schedule.
