North of Malone the land flattens toward the border and the wind comes across it with nothing in the way — snow drifts back into a driveway twenty minutes after it has been plowed. LeRoy Property Service works with that reality: plowing, shoveling and ice treatment run as a season-long commitment rather than a single visit. When the ground finally thaws, those same properties get mowed, trimmed, mulched and cleaned up, spring through the long light of a Franklin County summer. The satisfaction is in the contrast — deep green in July, black pavement in January, the same places looked after either way. Malone and the surrounding towns are all on it.
