About American Excavating LLC

The storms that matter here usually come in March — heavy, wet, silent, dropping a foot on a town that had crocuses out the week before. American Excavating LLC runs snow work through those nights, on the road by four so the Highway 50 side of Cañon City can leave for work on time. Wet Colorado snow is a specific animal: it packs, it sets, and it has to be moved before the sun glazes it. Drives get plowed to the edges, walks get scraped, entries get salted so the ice never gets a foothold. By the time the valley's famous sun burns the last of it off by noon, the pavement is already clean and dry underneath.
