Arrowhead Excavating

About Arrowhead Excavating

Tower sits in Minnesota's Arrowhead on the old Vermilion Iron Range, ground that has been dug, hauled and worked for well over a century. Arrowhead Excavating, an excavating business by trade, carries that heavy-iron instinct into snow removal. When a February storm buries the town, they come ready to move it: driveways opened full width, parking areas pushed back to their edges, the big banks stacked where they will stay out of the way until spring. Moving a mountain of material cleanly and leaving the ground nearly bare beneath it is a mine-country kind of pride. Up here winter is serious business, and a cleared drive at dawn is how the day gets going.
