Vermontville sits in an Adirondack cold pocket, where the Saranac drainage funnels the night air down and winter settles in early and stays late. Boulder Landscaping LLC plows that country — driveways off the ridge roads opened before daylight, walkways cut through snow measured in feet rather than inches, and return trips made whenever the wind rebuilds the drifts. The green season is short and brilliant up here, so mowing, trimming and cleanups run hard from late May until the first hard frost. Between Whiteface on the horizon and the spruce crowding the roadside, a mown yard and an open drive are two kinds of order in a lot of wild country. Both feel like an accomplishment when the light finally comes back over the ridge.
