P&P Landscaping and Property Management works the ground around Wells, Vermont, where the Taconic ridges lean down toward Lake St. Catherine and the slate-valley roads run narrow between hayfields and stone walls. Warm months are lawn care measured in straight passes and a clean edge at the shoulder — grass cut so the evening light lies flat and even across it, a yard that reads as cared for from the road. Come the cold half of the year the work turns to snow removal: drives and lots opened before the sun clears the ridgeline, banks pushed back wide enough that a truck can swing around and a car can leave without a second thought. There is a plain, physical satisfaction in that trade — a place kept usable and squared away, whatever the sky decides to do above it.
