- I found Abdi from the Nextdoor and they had a Free snow removal service for the community to show appreciation for all the people they worked with in their landscaping season.
I think it is a wonderful idea and had the chance to meet Abdi and get on his schedule. Abdi has a great heart, soul and a good smile on a snowy day!… (Nextdoor Sandcastle) - Lost dog spotted!
