Shaftsbury runs long and narrow between the Taconics and the Green Mountains, with Route 7A down the middle and the state park lake shining off to the east. C&W Land Resolutions works both halves of the year here: mowing, trimming and edging while the grass is running, then plowing drives and lots, shoveling walks and entries, sanding and salting once the cold takes hold. Summer thunderstorms come over the western ridge in a hurry and winter weather comes up the valley the long way, so the calendar stays a moving target. Cleanups in spring and autumn clear the ground for whatever is next. Whether it is a striped lawn in July or an open driveway in January, the measure is the same — the place looks tended.
