About Cooper and Sons, Inc.

East of downtown Ames, where Brookside Park's oaks lean out over the bike path and the streets curl along the old creek bluff, driveways fill in fast once the wind swings north. Cooper and Sons, Inc. clears those older neighborhoods block by block, working around low branches and narrow aprons that a bigger machine would scrape wrong. The reward is a clean run of blacktop from garage to curb, edges square, salt down before the kids walk to the bus stop. Ames can go gray for weeks at a stretch in January, the sky the color of the sidewalk, and a driveway cut sharp against all that gray is its own small brightness. Sidewalks along the park get the same care, so the walking path stays open for whoever's out early.
