About John's Excavation, LLC

Lanesborough lies at the foot of Greylock, and the mountain makes weather of its own — snow that starts as flurries along Route 7 and turns serious by the time it reaches the higher ground. John's Excavation, LLC plows the town through those stretches, opening driveways, clearing walkways and steps, and spreading sand and salt where the north-facing pitches ice over. Wind off Pontoosuc Lake packs the drifts hard at the mouth of every drive, so the last cut is always the heaviest one of the night. There is a particular satisfaction in the pass that finally connects a driveway back to the road. In the Berkshires, that pass matters all winter long.
