About Mark Ranger Excavating Inc.

Some driveways in Macoupin County run a quarter mile before they reach a house, and a snowfall a city block shrugs off can close one of those for a day. Mark Ranger Excavating Inc. takes on that kind of ground: long lanes, wide gravel yards, business lots that have to be open before the first car turns in. The work is plowing and stacking snow where it will not melt back across the pavement, clearing entrances and walkways, and salting the approaches that glaze over when the temperature swings the way February does here. There is real satisfaction in standing at the road at first light and seeing the whole length of a lane cut clean, black against the white field on either side. Gillespie, Benld, Staunton, Carlinville and the township roads between.
