The first real snow of December usually starts at dusk, and from Broadway you can watch it come on under the streetlights while the shops are still lit. Schmitt & Co. Landscaping is out before it finishes — plowing the drives, clearing walks down to the step, laying salt where the ice will want to set overnight. In the green months those same properties get the weekly cut, the edging, the mulch, and the cleanups at either end of the season that keep a Westwood yard looking tended. Both halves of the year come down to one small, good feeling: a door opens in the morning and the way out is clear, or someone steps onto the porch in June and the lawn is already done.
