About George Hartshorn Paving

Winter in Holmes arrives at elevation first — the ridges above Route 292 whiten while the valley below is still only raining. George Hartshorn Paving plows through those storms, working the long, steep drives that run back into the hardwoods around Whaley Lake. Grades like these need sand and salt as much as they need a blade, so traction goes down as the plowing goes on. Walks are cleared to the door, and turnarounds get opened wide enough to actually turn around in. Getting a hill drive open before the bus comes along the county road is the small victory that pays for the early alarm.
