About JD Lee Excavating

Out past McEwen the driveways get long — a quarter mile of gravel bending back through hardwoods toward a house you can't see from the road. JD Lee Excavating pushes snow on ground like that, where a blade has to follow the crown of a lane instead of a curb, and where one stuck truck costs a whole day. Plowing, opening shop and farm lots, banking the snow back off a turnaround, spreading salt or grit where shade holds ice past noon: the work is direct and the machines are already built for it. When the sky finally clears over the Duck River hills and goes that hard winter blue, a cleared lane is the plainest good thing in view. Some jobs are measured in acres, and some are measured in whether the mail truck can make the turn.
