Dakota Hills Excavating

About Dakota Hills Excavating

The hills around Milbank rise and dip in long glacial swells, the kind of country where a storm can leave one side of a rise scoured bare and the other buried to the fence wire. This crew reads that unevenness into every route, working the high ground first where wind keeps roads open longer and saving the low pockets, where snow collects deepest, for last. Morning light over the hill country catches every ridge line before it touches the flats below, gold on packed snow along a lane that's already been cleared. Driveways here often climb before they level out at the house, so the plow work is as much about the grade as it is about the depth of snow. By the time the sun is fully up, the high roads and the low ones both lie open, hill by hill.
