About Gottschalk Service Co

Eldridge has grown steadily north of the Quad Cities line, new cul-de-sacs pushing out past the older grid streets every few years, and on a snow morning that means Gottschalk Service Co covers both kinds of neighborhood in the same route. Newer subdivisions tend to catch more open wind across their wider lots, while the older streets closer to downtown hold snow in tighter, shadier pockets between houses built close together. The crew plows driveways and clears walks street by street, working commuter-town hours so residents can get onto the highway toward Davenport before the morning rush builds. Scott County's winters swing between quick, wet snows and the drier, blowing kind that drifts across a driveway overnight, and the routes here are built to handle either without missing a house. By the time school buses start their rounds, Eldridge's driveways are open end to end, new subdivision and old street alike.
