Watkins Excavation

About Watkins Excavation

The hollows of Croyle Township hold snow long after the open fields have let go of it — a February fact anyone who lives up here learns early. Watkins Excavation reads that terrain for winter work, clearing farm lanes, driveways and lots where drifting piles in against the fencerows and the north-facing banks. Plowing is done with an eye to where the snow goes, so the next storm still has somewhere to put itself. Steps and walkways are cleared and treated for the freeze that follows the thaw, which up on this plateau is most nights. Between South Fork and Ebensburg, that means one thing: a place that stays reachable all winter.
