About M.H Landscaping. LLC

Big Lake sits quiet enough in winter that the cabins along its shore mostly go dark until spring, but M.H Landscaping still tends the properties that stay lived-in through the cold months, clearing snow off docks and lakeside walkways before the ice underneath gets a chance to spread. The lake itself rarely freezes solid, but the paths down to it do, and a homeowner heading out for a look at the water on a white morning needs the same sure footing the crew gives every walkway they touch. Beyond the shoreline, the flat Skagit Valley farmland stretches out toward the Cascade foothills, and a rare snow here lies thin and is gone again almost as fast as it came. Clearing a driveway or a dock ramp on one of those mornings, with the foothills catching the first sun, is a small, specific kind of work suited to a small, specific kind of lake town.
