Kapusta Excavating

About Kapusta Excavating

There is a week in Wolcott when the dug ground goes cold and the hills above the Lamoille let go of their color, and the machines that spent the fall opening earth for foundations and septic lines turn, without ceremony, to keeping the roads and driveways open. Kapusta Excavating works that whole arc — site preparation and grading for new buildings, ponds and dams built and repaired, driveways and roads constructed and then plowed, underground utility and propane tank excavation, septic systems, general excavation and hauling, and boulders set into retaining walls along a Vermont slope. The satisfaction here is physical: a pad squared to the sun, still water standing where there was only pasture, a gravel drive crowned so the rain runs off it instead of through it. From Lamoille into Washington and Chittenden counties — Stowe, Waterbury, Morrisville, Hyde Park, Montpelier, Cabot, Barre, Richmond — the work leaves the kind of mark you can walk on. And a hillside road opened after a night's snow, dark and clean before the valley wakes, is reason enough to be out in it.
