About Lawson Land Management

South of Pulaski the land folds into hollows that run all the way down to the Alabama line, and cold settles into them and stays. Lawson Land Management works winter in that country — plowing drives, cutting through the drift that always builds where the road bends out of the wind, salting the pitch that a car cannot climb without help. A hollow will hold ice two days after the ridge above it has gone bare, so a place gets checked rather than assumed. There is a plain kind of pride in a steep drive that a vehicle can take at a normal speed, no hesitation, no sliding back. Around Ardmore in January, that is worth a great deal.
