About Rugged Ridge Contracting, LLC

From the higher lots on the edge of Columbia Falls, the Whitefish Range holds a jagged skyline visible on any clear day, ridgelines that pick up the day's last light long after the valley floor has gone dark. Rugged Ridge Contracting works the properties along that edge of town, driveways that climb toward the foothills where the grade steepens and the snow, once it falls, tends to stay through the cold months rather than melt back quickly. Hungry Horse Reservoir isn't far to the south, and the same cold air that settles over its basin drifts into these upper neighborhoods overnight, keeping temperatures a few degrees colder than downtown even after a storm's passed. The work climbs with the terrain, blade set carefully on the steeper pitches where a driveway meets the hillside at an angle flatter ground never has to deal with. By evening, with that ridge catching its last light again, the drives below it are open and the grade is safe to run.
