Hanover Square wakes early in Horseheads, brick sidewalks glowing under the storefront lights, and on snow mornings the plows are already working the streets that feed into it. Ace Property Maintenance takes on both halves of the year here — clearing driveways and walks so the first car out of the garage meets bare pavement, then coming back in June to mow and edge until a lawn holds a line you could follow with your eye. The village sits low where the hills open out, which means weather can pile in overnight and be gone by noon, and either way the work gets done. There is a real satisfaction in a driveway that looks like it was cut with a straightedge, and in grass that keeps its stripe all week. Horseheads and the towns around it get looked after one property at a time.
