About M.R. Paving & Excavating, Inc.

West of New Ulm the land opens into farm country, and when the wind gets a running start across those fields, the snow doesn't fall so much as arrive sideways. M.R. Paving & Excavating meets it with heavy iron — trucks and machines that spend the warm months moving earth and pavement, and the cold ones moving snow. Driveways, lots, and long approaches get opened and pushed back hard, so the drifts have somewhere to go when the next round comes. This is snow removal at working scale, done by a crew at home in the seat of a machine. When a Brown County blizzard finally quits, the cleared ground it leaves behind is the point.
