About Bailey's Landscaping/Hardscaping

Jim Thorpe is built on a slope, and winter is honest about it — Broadway climbing away from the Lehigh, the switchback drives above town, the little terraced parking cut straight into hillside. Bailey's Landscaping/Hardscaping plows and shovels that terrain, opening driveways, walks and lots before the first headlights come down the hill. Grade changes everything about snow work: where you push it, where it will slide back, which turn needs salt before anybody attempts it. Getting that right means someone in a hillside house can leave in the morning without a second thought about the descent. Around Jim Thorpe, Nesquehoning and Lehighton, that is the whole ambition — steep ground made passable while it is still dark out.
