About SV Sunset Landscaping

Snow arrives on Shelter Island the way everything else does — over water, sideways, and later than the forecast said. SV Sunset Landscaping is out in it before the first ferry runs, plowing the driveways that wind down toward the water and shoveling the paths to the doors so nobody has to guess where the step is. Island storms come with a particular quiet: no through traffic, no convoy of plows from somewhere else, just the scrape of a blade and gulls complaining over the harbor. Freeze and spray leave the drives here slick in odd patches, and it pays to know which ones. Finishing a route at daybreak, every drive opened wide and the light coming up pink over the sound, is a good way to start a winter day.
