Winter comes down the Chemung Valley overnight and without argument, filling driveways along the old Route 352 corridor while the whole town sleeps. Premier Landscaping & Snow Removal is out in it well before the sky goes gray — plowing, shoveling walks, salting the icy patch at the foot of a sloped drive so nobody meets the morning on their back. There's real pride in a cleared drive at 5 a.m., steam coming off the blade, the pavement showing black and the banks pushed back square. When the ground finally lets go in spring, the same trucks come back for the other half of the year: mowing, trimming, edging and hauling off what the thaw uncovered. Between the airport flats and the ridges, it is the kind of place where the same hands see a property in every kind of weather.
