East of Vergennes the roads run straight between hayfields, and every October the valley goes gold before it goes gray. Gaboriault & Sons Property Maintenance keeps up with both halves of that turn — mowing, trimming and fall cleanups while the leaves are coming down, then plowing, shoveling and sanding once the ground locks up for good. A property looked after all year never has that neglected week: the leaves go before the first snow, and the snow goes before the morning drive. Knowing a place well enough to remember where the culvert sits under two feet of white is half the skill. The list changes with the calendar; the care does not.
