This was the Lumber City once, board feet stacked along the water where the canal runs out into the Niagara, and the same winters that used to shut those docks down still come rolling through. Oakley's Landscaping & Snow Removal works them: plowing driveways and lots, clearing walkways and steps, and treating the slick patches that show up in the wake of a thaw. Storms off the lakes don't keep business hours, so neither does the truck — the goal is always to have the pavement open by the time the coffee's on. A drive scraped clean at dawn, banks stacked well back from the apron, nothing left that needs a shovel. Snow removal for North Tonawanda, Tonawanda, Wheatfield and Pendleton.
