Loewen Excavating & Septics

About Loewen Excavating & Septics

Up near the Minnesota line, Lime Springs takes its winter straight off the bare stubble, and the drifts arrive sculpted and stubborn. Loewen Excavating & Septics, an excavating and septic contractor, brings a dirt-mover's feel for heavy ground to the lighter work of snow removal, opening driveways and lanes after the wind has done its rearranging. A few miles off, the old Lidtke Mill stands over the frozen Upper Iowa River, a reminder that this corner of Howard County has always worked with whatever the season hands it. There is honest satisfaction in a lane scraped back to gravel, its banks shoved wide so the next storm has somewhere to go. When the blade lifts and the sky goes pale over the farmsteads, the road out is open again.
