BSE Excavating

About BSE Excavating

Canyon Ferry Lake stretches north of Townsend, backed up behind a dam on the Missouri River, with the Big Belt Mountains rising along its eastern shore and holding the first heavy snow of the season well before it reaches town. BSE Excavating works the lake-country properties and the ranches spread across the valley floor, moving from summer grading work into winter plowing without much of a pause. Wind off the lake can push snow sideways across the open valley, drifting hard against anything that breaks the flow — a barn, a fence, a driveway cut. The crew's equipment, built for moving real ground, handles those drifts the same way it handles a stubborn hillside, working through rather than around. Most winters, a cleared lane from a lakeside property back to the highway is routine enough not to remark on, the Big Belts up above holding onto their own snow far longer than the valley ever does.
