Up in the hills above Scio, spring shows first on the south-facing pastures and takes another week to reach the hollows. Willy Landscaping And Contracting LLC works both ends of that calendar: mowing, trimming and cleanups once the ground dries out, plowing, shoveling and salting when the hill roads start to drift. Country properties ask for a wide swing of the blade — long driveways, turnarounds, gravel that has to be read rather than scraped. Between here and Wellsville the wind stacks snow across open fields overnight, and the job is undoing that quietly and early, before anyone is late for anything. By July the same places get squared off with clean lines running out to the treeline.
