About BWO Concrete and Landscaping, LLC

Out at the far east edge of Oak Creek, where Elm Road runs toward Lake Michigan, winter arrives with the wind first and the snow a half hour behind it. BWO Concrete and Landscaping, LLC works those hours — plowing driveways and lots, clearing walks down to the pavement, laying salt where the freeze-thaw likes to set its traps. There is a plain satisfaction in a drive that is black and open at six in the morning, with the ridge the city plow left already carried away. Snow that comes in off the water lands heavy and wet here, and it asks for a second pass; it gets one. The work covers Oak Creek and the neighboring stretches of South Milwaukee, Cudahy and Franklin, and the aim never changes — that nobody has to think about the storm before work.
