John Keene Excavation

About John Keene Excavation

Out along Old County Road the woods run low and scrubby, and snow, when it finally comes, lies over the sandplain like a sheet drawn across a bed. John Keene Excavation runs the plows on West Tisbury nights like that — driveways, farm lanes, parking areas, the long sandy stretches that drift shut again if you do not come back around. Nor'easters here send wind first and snow sideways after, and keeping a lane open until it stops takes a certain patience. There is sand for the icy pitches and a clean shoulder-to-shoulder cut wherever there is room to push. By the hour the school buses roll, the way out is clear.
