DeBoer Landscapes

About DeBoer Landscapes

Snow reaches Oakland from the northwest, over the ridge where Skyline Drive climbs out of town, and it almost always arrives at an hour nobody chose. DeBoer Landscapes meets it: driveways plowed end to end, walkways and steps shoveled, salt laid on the slick spots that form where a grade runs into a shaded curb. There is a quiet pride in the sound of a blade at two in the morning and a driveway that is simply open by breakfast, as though winter had politely stepped aside. Snow work runs across Oakland and out to Mahwah, Wanaque and Pompton Lakes.
