About Elliott Ross Contracting

January rarely announces itself in La Plata. It comes as a rain that stops being rain somewhere around three in the morning, and by first light every lot along the 301 corridor is under a quarter inch of glass. Elliott Ross Contracting works that hour — plowing, scraping and spreading salt so lots, drives and walkways are down to bare pavement before the first car noses in. There is a craft to reading which corner of a lot will glaze first, where the runoff crosses, which shaded strip stays treacherous long after the rest has let go. Done right, the whole thing looks like nothing ever happened.
