ALPINE LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT & EXCAVATING

About ALPINE LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT & EXCAVATING

The ridges west of Branson drop hard and fast toward Table Rock Lake, and out here a driveway is as likely to run like a ski slope as a straight line. Alpine Landscape Management & Excavating brings equipment built for that grade, pushing snow off switchback drives and gravel lanes before ice can lock onto the limestone underneath. Down along the coves near Kimberling City the lake holds its cold long after the ridge tops have warmed, so a north-facing slope can carry a drift the sun never reaches by noon. Getting a steep lake-house drive scraped back to bare gravel before the first car needs it is the whole job in miniature. By midmorning, the switchbacks above the water are dark and wet where the blade has already been through, the white holding on only where the timber still shades the road.
