About ernie's excavating inc

The bucket bites into Nashoba Valley till and the day begins the way it always does here — steel finding stone, an operator reading the ground by the way it gives. Ernie's Excavating Inc. opens the earth of Littleton and the towns around it, setting septic systems and Title V work into the glacial soil, running water and sewer lines, and carrying a raw house lot the whole way from first cut to finish landscaping. There is a plain, honest satisfaction in a lot brought from wooded ledge to a graded, buildable clearing, in a new road laid true across drumlin country where apple orchards climb the slopes toward Long Lake. When winter closes over the valley, the same machines turn to snow, pushing drives and yards clean before the morning light reaches the frost. It is unhurried, physical work, and it leaves its mark on the land in the best way — ground made ready, then handed back.
