About C H Excavating Contractors Inc

Out by the Turnpike interchange the lots run for acres, and when snow falls they have to be open before the first shift pulls in. C H Excavating Contractors Inc turns to snow work through the winter, pushing back the long aprons and drive lanes of Monroe Township with iron sized for ground that big. Plowing, stacking piles where they won't blind a turn, salting the approaches, clearing walks down to bare pavement — it's night work, mostly, done under sodium light with the radio low. There's a particular quiet on Half Acre Road at three in the morning, snow still falling, one machine working a straight line down an empty lot. By sunrise the lanes are black and wet and the gates open on time.
