About Nick's Landscaping & Firewood
A well-kept property pays its people back in small daily currencies: a driveway that lets you leave on time, a dooryard that drains instead of puddles, a stacked rank of firewood promising warm rooms in February. Nick's Landscaping & Firewood works that trade in Sutton, Vermont, where the Northeast Kingdom hills fold down into the Passumpsic valley and every yard is really a slope with opinions — so the excavating and grading come first, the ground argued into level before hardscape and landscaping ever go in. There is a dumpster for the mess, a truck for the materials and the hauling, and a plow for the mornings when the road is still blue and the snow has to be off the drive before anyone is awake to notice it went. Come September, seasoned firewood arrives by the cord, and the smell of split hardwood is its own kind of forecast. From Sutton out through Lyndonville and St. Johnsbury, the work leaves the plainest evidence there is: a place that looks handled, and holds.
