About Wally Schmid Excavating Inc.

By February an Oshkosh parking lot keeps a record of its winter, the banks at the far end grown into small blue-shadowed hills that will not go until April. Wally Schmid Excavating Inc. handles snow at that scale, plowing, pushing and stacking so lots and drives stay usable through the deep part of the season. There is real craft in deciding where the piles belong, away from sightlines, off the drains, out of the spaces people actually need. Storms coming off Lake Winnebago can drop a foot and then blow it sideways for a day afterward. Clear it right the first time and the next thaw does not turn the whole place into a sheet of ice.
