About Stuart M Shaffer Excavating

Mountains stand shoulder to shoulder around Hyndman, and a midday storm can turn the Bedford County side roads that climb out of town into long white ramps. Stuart M Shaffer Excavating answers by shoving that snow off driveways and access roads until gravel and blacktop show again. The work is all about grade and space: finding where a bank can sit without sliding back down, and leaving room for whatever the sky sends next. Under a pewter afternoon the hollows go hushed, and a cleared drive running up a hillside reads like a pencil line drawn across clean paper. That is the satisfaction here, a mountain town with its roads opened back up.
