About GroundSystems

Downtown at night the Roebling bridge hangs lit above black water, and snow crossing it comes down onto lots that have to be open by morning. GroundSystems takes that on — plowing decks and drives, clearing the sidewalks along the block fronts, treating for ice, and hauling piles away once the corners have run out of room. Out east through Milford and Terrace Park the same storm falls across longer drives and quieter streets, and it gets the same schedule. Ohio Valley weather changes its mind overnight, which is why the second and third passes count as much as the first. When daylight comes, the city moves as though nothing had happened at all.
