After a real storm the county roads out toward La Plata Canyon need more than a shovel — the banks stand chest-high and the turnarounds have simply vanished. La plata excavating LLC brings the equipment for that: plowing long drives, lots and access roads, pushing the snow back where it won't creep in again by Thursday, clearing walkways and entries, and dealing with the ice that forms where meltwater runs across shaded gravel. Mountain snow settles heavy once the sun starts working on it, so where the banks go matters as much as when the snow is moved. A drive that stays full width all winter is the sign it was thought through back in December. The reward is uncomplicated: nobody gets stuck.
