About Avery Excavating

Winter arrives here off the water and comes down M-72 sideways, a whole afternoon of it in twenty minutes. Avery Excavating works the hours nobody sees — the truck out at four, the blade dropping at the head of a drive while the house is still dark. Snow gets pushed back, walkways get opened, ice gets treated before anyone has to think about that first step off the porch. Lake-effect out of the northwest can bury a Williamsburg driveway twice in a night, so the route simply gets run twice. There is a settled feeling in a clean apron of pavement at sunrise, steam coming off it and everything around it white.
