Shattuck Tree

About Shattuck Tree

Winter arrives early on this shoulder of Susquehanna County, where the township runs right up to the New York line and the dirt roads above Laurel Lake drift shut before any plow reaches them. Shattuck Tree works those storms, plowing driveways and turnarounds, opening long rural approaches, shoveling steps and doorways, putting salt down where meltwater refreezes by afternoon. The lake country holds its cold, and a drive cleared at six can want another cut by noon, so a storm day is a circuit rather than a list. Nothing beats coming back down a road you opened and finding the pavement dark and the banks standing square. Silver Lake, Brackney, the crossroads out toward Montrose, the snow is the same everywhere and every driveway is different.
