Dingmans Creek runs cold all year, dropping through hemlock shade toward the Delaware, and the calendar up here turns hard in both directions. Blake's Outdoor Services, LLC. handles lawn care and snow removal in Dingman Township, which is really one job split down the middle: keep the ground you can see, and clear the ground you can't. Warm months mean mowing, trimming and cleanup work; cold ones mean plowing driveways, shoveling walks and putting down salt before the freeze locks in. The pleasure is in the handoffs — the last leaf hauled off in November, the first green cut in April. Both ends of the year finish the same way, with a property that looks like somebody has been minding it.
