Back Country Property Services

About Back Country Property Services

Halifax is high ground and long dirt roads, hill farms and camps set well back from anything paved, and when snow arrives the town goes quiet in a hurry. Back Country Property Services goes where a plow has to travel slowly, up steep winding drives, out to seasonal houses whose owners are somewhere warmer, along the roads above Green River that hold their ice into April. Driveways get opened end to end, walks and entries get cleared, and sand on the pitches that never fully let go. Because so many places up here sit empty for weeks at a stretch, the work happens whether anyone is watching or not. Come spring the road settles into mud and the whole cycle starts over again.
