About Ohlsen R.O.W & Maintenance Inc

Ohlsen R.O.W & Maintenance spends most of its year keeping the ditches and section-line roads around Seneca in shape, the grid of gravel radiating out from the courthouse square in every direction, and that same familiarity carries straight into winter. The crew clears driveways and approaches where they meet those county roads first, because a farmstead cut off at its own gate stays cut off no matter how clean the road past it is. A driveway apron scraped square right down to where the gravel starts — the transition clean instead of a ridge of packed snow a truck has to fight over — is what the work is judged on. Walks and steps around town get the same careful clearing, done early enough that Main Street traffic doesn't have to slow for someone testing the ice. Every mile of that gravel grid gets driven anyway come planting season — clearing it in January is just an early pass at ground the crew already knows by heart.
