The last twelve feet of a driveway are the ones that beat people — that ridge of hard-packed plow spoil laid across the apron ten minutes after you finished. Dustin's Handyman Services clears it, along with the drives, the walks and the porch steps on the older streets off Elm and Bay, where houses sit close and snow has nowhere polite to go. Glens Falls winters run long and stack up; by February the banks are shoulder-high and every foot of pavement has to be earned back. Some of the job is machine work and some of it is a shovel and a set of steps that need to be safe for somebody in the dark. Both halves count the same.
