The first serious snow usually turns up in November, blowing across Empire Boulevard at the head of the bay while the last leaves are still down in the gutters. JAK Services LLC meets it with plows and shovels, clearing drives and walks and salting the slick spots before anyone has to test them. Between storms the work is unglamorous and exact: widening a turnaround, pushing back a bank so the next foot of snow has somewhere to go. Once the ground softens the crew swings to mowing, trimming and edging, keeping properties tidy right through the humid Rochester summer. Cleanups in spring and fall close the loop, and the cycle starts over.
