Dutch John was built starting in 1957 to house the crews who put up Flaming Gorge Dam, and it still runs on dam and recreation area work today. People here need to get to shifts on time, and visitors still come through in the off season for the Blue Ribbon trout water below the dam.
We’ll be honest: Dutch John is a long drive north for us. We don’t take one off calls up here. Instead, we set Dutch John properties up on seasonal contracts and run them as a planned route, so storms get handled in order all winter.
Plowing Dutch John driveways, parking areas, and business lots on a seasonal route up US-191.
De-icer on Dutch John steps, entries, and walks where January lows keep packed snow frozen.
Shoveling Dutch John sidewalks, porches, and rental entrances so residents and guests have safe footing.
Raking roofs in Dutch John when a season with around 44 inches of snow starts to stack up.
Extra storm follow up for Dutch John contract customers when a big system lingers over the Gorge.
We build the north route in the fall, so that’s the time to call. We’ll walk your Dutch John property, mark curbs, utility boxes, and landscaping, and plan where snow piles go.
Once winter starts, route space up here is tight. Call anyway and we’ll give you a straight answer.
