About Flat Creek Excavating LLC

Fog off Lake Taneycomo can hang low in the hollows below Hollister's Downing Street chalets long after the hillside streets above have cleared, the dam's cold tailwater keeping the valley damp through the coldest mornings. Hollister climbs a bluff in tiers, English Tudor storefronts stacked above a lake that rarely freezes but chills the whole valley enough to glaze every hill road overnight. The crew works the inclines first — the ones that turn a morning commute into a slide toward the water — before moving down to the flatter lots near the shoreline. Clearing a grade this steep means angling the blade just right so the ice actually comes up off the pavement instead of just getting pushed around on it.
