About Michael Dale Construction

The Ravenna State Recreation Area sits quiet through the winter, its trails and fishing spots along the Platte River valley empty except for whatever tracks a deer leaves in fresh snow. Michael Dale Construction runs its building equipment out to the access roads and lot near that recreation ground when a storm closes them in, keeping the entrance open even in the slow months when hardly anyone drives out to use it. The bulk of this crew's winter work stays closer to town, driveways and commercial lots across Ravenna's rail-era grid, but that recreation-area route gets run all the same, storm after storm. A machine built for grading a foundation site handles packed snow on a gravel lot without much adjustment, which is part of why this crew's equipment moves so easily between summer and winter jobs. Keeping every route open, from a quiet trailhead to a busy Main Street driveway, is simply how the winter schedule gets built.
