From the bluff at Battery Park the lake turns silver in the afternoon with the Adirondacks holding its far edge, and Burlington's weather can be read coming across the water an hour before it lands. Walker's Landscaping & Snowplowing works to that forecast in both directions — mowing, trimming and cleanups through the warm months, plowing and clearing drives and walks once the squalls come off Champlain. Winter here can be mild for a week and then serious overnight, so the trucks stay ready either way. Summer asks for steadiness instead: same day, same lines, edges kept sharp along the waterfront streets. Two rhythms, one city, learned block by block.
