Grand Island floats in the middle of the Niagara with the river running hard on both sides and two bridges tying it to the mainland. Living on an island means weather gets to you first, and JB Landscaping & snowplowing works with that from either end of the calendar. Warm months are mowing, trimming and edging across yards where the wind off the water never really quits; cold months are plowing, with the driveways opened before the morning crossing to Buffalo or the Falls. Winter here can arrive as a wall of white coming up the river, and the answer is simply to be out in it early. Come June, the same properties are green to the water's edge and cut clean, and that is its own quiet reward.
