About Paving By Sam Cooper & Son

Bow sits on its hill above the Merrimack, and the wind coming up the valley knows exactly where every driveway is. Paving By Sam Cooper & Son runs the plows here all winter — drives and lots opened, walks cleared, sand and salt down on the grades around Bow Mills before the glaze can set. A storm that starts after midnight is met before the buses run, and the shoulders are widened through the season so late-March squalls still have room. Freezing rain gets its own treatment, because in this town a slick slope does more harm than a foot of powder. Clean black pavement at daybreak is the whole report.
