Winter in the town of Colton is no visitor; it moves in around Thanksgiving and stays until the ice finally goes out at Higley Flow. Smalling Landscaping Company LLC works both ends of that — plowing drives and lots, clearing walks and treating ice through the long cold, then mowing, trimming and cleaning up once the ground comes back. Snow measured in feet teaches you to stay ahead of it rather than dig out from under it. Then the green half of the year settles the account: cut grass, clean edges, a yard that looks like somebody won the argument with the weather. Colton is a hard place to keep tidy, which is exactly what makes it worth doing.
