Alaska Residential Services

About Alaska Residential Services

Badger Road runs flat and straight between Fairbanks and North Pole, cutting through stands of black spruce and birch that thin out here and there into cleared homestead lots, and Alaska Residential Services works those long gravel driveways all winter without much of the drama a mountain town gets. Cold out here can drop hard enough to hang ice fog over the whole valley for days at a stretch, thick enough to blur the tree line at the edge of a yard, and the plowing keeps going through it on a set schedule rather than waiting for clearer air. Driveways tend to run long and straight back from the road, matching the lots themselves, so the work is more about distance than tight turns. The Chena River isn't far off through the trees, quiet and frozen solid by midwinter, invisible from most of the driveways it borders. The work stays flat and patient out here, matched to a stretch of road that never had much use for anything flashy.
