About D Brooks Excavation

Snow lies differently on ground that has been worked: the old mine hills and field edges around Hanna City hold it in pockets while the open sections hand it straight to the wind. D Brooks Excavation, an excavation outfit, spends the cold months moving that snow — farm lanes, gravel drives, business lots and the wide turnarounds where a truck needs room. Heavy ground wants a blade set right, and gravel wants it set a hair higher, so a drive opens without the stone coming along with it. A midwinter thaw is its own problem, and the ruts it leaves get cut back and salted before the temperature falls through zero at supper time. What is left is a lane you can drive at speed without holding your breath.
