Yes, though much of the work in the Stockade is hand clearing rather than plowing. The streets and lots predate anything designed for a truck, so we handle walkways, steps, stoops and sidewalk frontage, and plow only where there is genuinely room to.

Yes. Those neighborhoods have mature plantings, stone edging and lighting close to the driveway line, so we mark hazards and stake soft edges during the pre-season walk. The operator then works to marked references rather than judgment in the dark.

Yes. Downtown properties near Proctors and along State Street frequently have minimal off-street parking, so the work concentrates on entrances and sidewalk frontage. Erie Boulevard and Altamont Avenue properties have more lot area and are sequenced by opening hour.
