A few blocks from the old carrousel factory, where wooden horses were carved for parks all over the country, the streetlights flick on at dusk and the neighborhood settles in for the evening. Stratford Landscaping & Snowplowing LLC works those blocks in both directions of the calendar: mowing, trimming, edging, mulch and seasonal cleanups while things are growing, then plowing, shoveling and ice control once they stop. Winter mornings start early so a drive is open when the car backs out; summer afternoons end with a lawn cut even and the walks left clean. It's steady, visible work in a city that pays attention to its front yards. North Tonawanda, Tonawanda, Wheatfield and Pendleton.
