About Boniface Arbor Works

When ice comes to Cleveland it comes politely at first, beading on the bare limbs above Centenary Avenue, then settling on every driveway in town. Boniface Arbor Works works those mornings — plowing snow, clearing walks and drives, and putting down treatment where a slope wants to send a car sideways. Winter in this valley is short-tempered and unpredictable, sometimes only two or three real events in a year, and each one has to be met fast. The reward is immediate and plain: a clear path from a front door to a parked car, finished before the household is awake. Then the sun goes to work on the branches and the street drips itself back to normal.
