About Mathias Excavating

Mathias Excavating runs the kind of equipment built for moving Martin County dirt all summer, and in winter that same iron gets turned loose on the snow piling up along Loogootee's steeper grades. This is hill country, and a foot of snow on a grade above town behaves differently than a foot on flat ground — a loader has to push it somewhere it won't just slide back down by morning. Commercial lots and long rural driveways get the first passes, since a stranded delivery truck or a stuck school bus on a hillside road is the kind of trouble that backs up fast in a small town. The crew knows which rural lanes drift shut first, tucked back against the ridgelines outside town, and works those before the wind has a chance to refill them. By the time the last pass is done, the grades into town are open again and the lots sit banked clean at the edges.
