About James River Grounds Management

Winter mornings, mist lifts off the South Fork Rivanna Reservoir and the fields above Earlysville go silver-white before anyone is awake to see it. James River Grounds Management is awake. Plowing lots and drives, shoveling walks, salting the shaded curves that never catch sun between December and February — the work happens in the hours nobody counts. Snow reaches Albemarle County unevenly, an inch down in the valley and four on the ridge, so every storm gets read fresh instead of assumed. By the time headlights start moving toward Charlottesville, the pavement is black and the day can proceed.
