Riverside Driveways

About Riverside Driveways

Out toward Gilt Edge and Garland the driveways run long — gravel and concrete strips reaching back off the county roads to houses set well into the trees. Riverside Driveways opens them when winter shuts them in: the full run plowed, the turnaround cleared, a path cut from the door to wherever a car can actually sit. Ice is the more common adversary in this part of Tennessee, so salt and grit go down on the grades where a truck would otherwise start sliding sideways. A long drive left buried is a house nobody can leave. Getting one back open again is a straightforward and thoroughly satisfying morning's work.
