Denver Ground Services

About Denver Ground Services

At two in the morning the commercial strip along Santa Fe Drive is nothing but empty asphalt and orange light, and that is precisely when the plowing happens. Denver Ground Services runs the overnight side of a Littleton winter — lots cleared, drive lanes opened, entrances and walks cut wide before the first employee turns in at six. Snow on a big lot is a puzzle of where to put it: stack it wrong and you lose parking until April. Done right, the daytime world arrives to black pavement and never learns what the night looked like. That anonymity is its own kind of pride.
