About Eric's Excavating Inc.

The old rail causeway runs three miles straight out into Lake Champlain from Colchester Point, and by February the ice on either side of it goes the color of slate. That is the wind this town's driveways live under, and Eric's Excavating Inc. meets it with a plow — pushing back to bare pavement, opening a turnaround wide enough to actually turn around in. Storms off open water do not arrive politely, so the crew works them as they come and returns once the drifting has finished its business. Walks cleared, sand down on the slick approach, banks cut back before they grow past pushing. Snow removal for Colchester and its neighbors.
