About Whitcomb Excavation & Property Maintenance LLC.
Francestown keeps its white village clustered under Crotched Mountain, with the back roads running out past Scobie Pond and the old soapstone ledges into deep woods. Whitcomb Excavation & Property Maintenance LLC works those long country properties — mowing and trimming the open ground in summer, keeping edges and drives clear of the growth that always wants to close them in. In winter the same drives get plowed, some of them a quarter mile of gravel through the trees, with walks shoveled and sand laid down on the steep pitches. There is a deep satisfaction in a hill drive opened clean before the morning drive to town. Francestown and the hill towns around it are the whole territory, and it suits the work.
