About Final Grade Inc.

At three in the morning an Antrim Township snowstorm is mostly headlights and the sound of a blade on asphalt. Final Grade Inc. plows and salts through those hours — lots, aprons, driveways and the walks that feed them, all opened before the valley starts moving toward the interstate. Snow gets pushed where it can melt without running back across the pavement it just came off of. De-icer goes down at the doorways first, then the traffic lanes. By sunrise the blacktop is dark and wet and the storm is already somebody else's memory.
