About Jensen Rock & Sand, Inc.

The sand and gravel bars along the Missouri River below Mobridge keep this crew's trucks busy most of the year, hauling material out for roads and building pads across Walworth County. Once the river locks up with ice for the winter, the same heavy equipment shifts to pushing snow instead of moving rock, and it handles a hard-packed drift about as easily as it handles a load of gravel. Rural roads and long farm approaches get worked with the same patience as a gravel haul, steady, wide passes, blade angled to throw snow clear rather than just move it sideways. A property out past the edge of town, reachable only by a stretch of section road, gets the same attention as a driveway two blocks from Main. By the time the trucks are parked for the night, the rural routes this crew knows from summer hauling are just as open as the streets in town.
