About Curtis Landworks

Past Bristol's brick storefronts the dooryards loosen into gravel — stone walls leaning under old maples, a road bending toward South Starksboro and the green folds of the mountain foothills. Curtis Landworks works that ground: new gravel driveways and the grading that keeps them true, site prep and utility trenching, shed pads cut level into a hillside, culverts and French drains laid to follow the way water already wants to move through Addison County soil. There is a plain satisfaction in a drive that sheds an April thaw instead of rutting, in brush mowed back until a field remembers its own edges, in land cleared open and a yard that finally holds its shape. From Bristol out through Chittenden and western Washington counties — and, when winter shuts the road down, plowing it open again — the work is measured in ground that behaves itself, one season into the next.
