Most of the plowing happens at night, out past Rockland where the road unspools between dark water and darker woods and the only light for a mile is your own. Ground Control Landscaping inc. runs those routes storm by storm — driveways opened, lots pushed back, walkways cleared, sand and salt down before the temperature drops the rest of the way. Nothing is more ordinary or more necessary than being able to get out in the morning. The truck comes through, the blade drops, and a household's whole day is made possible before anyone knows it happened. By sunrise the work has gone invisible, which is exactly right.
