Being honest about the size of Greenwood
Greenwood is small enough that we will say so plainly: a few streets, a stretch of River Road and the levee behind it. Almost nothing we deliver into Greenwood is a subdivision job, because no subdivision is being built here. What turns up instead is a Greenwood right-of-way crew, a levee contractor, a highway gang, or a homeowner doing serious repair work on an older house.
One unit usually covers a Greenwood job outright. A Greenwood order of two is unusual, and we would rather size it honestly than talk anybody into a bank of units.
Pipeline and utility right-of-way through Greenwood
The corridor between the river and Airline Highway carries pipe, power and fiber, and Greenwood sits directly across it. A Greenwood right-of-way job is linear work with a crew that moves every few days, so the unit either rides on their trailer or gets repositioned at each service call. Access into the Greenwood corridor is by farm and service road. We ask a Greenwood foreman which gate is unlocked this week, because guessing costs an hour nobody has spare.
Water, spillway and Greenwood ground
Greenwood sits between the river levee and the Bonnet Carre guide levee, on ground that is flat, low and often soft. A Greenwood unit set on bare soil after a wet week will not be upright at the next visit, so we bring plank or use existing shell.
Spillway openings change Greenwood traffic more than the work. When the bays go up, Greenwood River Road fills with sightseers and crews together, and we shift the Greenwood service time earlier to stay ahead of it. Summer means twice weekly service on any Greenwood job with a real crew on it.
