About Bacon Concrete & Excavating

Postville sits low in the folds of the driftless country, where the roads don't run straight — they climb and drop around bluffs the glaciers never touched. Bacon Concrete & Excavating knows every one of those grades, since a plow that can't handle a hill is no use here at all. The crew works the steep ridge roads out toward Castalia and Clermont first, then drops down into the valley streets for driveways below the bluff line. Salt goes down heavy on anything with a real grade to it, because ice on a Postville hill behaves differently than ice on flat ground. By the time the valley fog burns off, the climbs into town and the flatter stretch toward Monona are both bare again.
