About M. Provost Trucking & Landscape Products
Putnam sits where the hills fold down toward the Quinebaug, and a materials yard here starts moving before the fog lifts off the water. M. Provost Trucking & Landscape Products keeps the raw stuff of a property on hand — screened loam and stone dust, hemlock and cedar and triple-ground mulch, trap rock, mason sand, river rock, compost blends — and sends it out by dump trailer and flatbed to driveways all over the northeast corner. In mud season the excavator goes to work on land clearing and trenching; by July it is beds and walkways and pool sand; when the back roads glaze over it is 5:1 sand-salt mix and treated salt going out the gate. The trommel screens right on site, so a pile of somebody's own dirt comes back usable instead of hauled off. The pride is in the small end of it: a load dropped exactly where the wheelbarrow can reach, a driveway that finally drains, a mulch line dark and even against the grass.
