Equipment and Experience You Can Count On

We bring heavy equipment expertise to Athol’s snow removal needs. The same professional-grade equipment and experienced operators handling excavating projects all year tackle your winter property maintenance.

This isn’t a seasonal side business for us. The trucks, plows, and operators clearing your snow are the same ones building foundations and moving materials across the region.

Snow Cleaning Services Process

Straightforward Service, Professional Results

We start by assessing your property’s specific needs – parking lot size, walkway priorities, and snow storage areas. Every property in Athol has different requirements, and cookie-cutter approaches don’t work.

When snow is forecast, you’ll know we’re ready. Our equipment is prepped and operators are on standby. Once accumulation reaches your trigger depth, we’re on-site clearing your priority areas first – main access routes, handicap spaces, and high-traffic walkways.

After plowing, we handle ice control and cleanup. Salt or sand application keeps surfaces safe, and we remove any snow berms blocking drainage or access points. Your property is ready for normal operations, not just partially cleared.

Commercial Snow Removal Solutions

Complete Winter Property Maintenance

Your snow removal service includes professional plowing with equipment sized for your property. Small lots get maneuverable machines that won’t damage landscaping. Large commercial properties get the heavy equipment needed to move serious snow volume efficiently.

Ice control keeps your surfaces safe after plowing. We apply salt or sand based on temperature conditions and your surface types. Concrete gets different treatment than asphalt, and we know the difference.

Snow stacking and removal prevent those growing piles that eat up your parking spaces as winter progresses. In Athol, where snow accumulates over months, smart snow management keeps your entire property usable all season long.

How quickly can you respond during a snowstorm in Athol?

Response time depends on storm severity and your service priority level, but most commercial properties get cleared within 4-6 hours of snow stopping. We prioritize medical facilities, retail businesses, and other high-traffic commercial properties first, followed by residential and lower-priority locations. Emergency calls for businesses that must stay open during storms get faster response, usually within 2-3 hours. Keep in mind that during major storms affecting all of upstate New York, even the best contractors face equipment and operator limitations.
Most commercial contracts trigger at 2 inches of accumulation, though this varies based on your business needs and budget. Retail locations often want 1-inch triggers to keep customer access clear, while some warehouse operations can wait until 3-4 inches. We set trigger depths during your initial consultation based on your property type, customer traffic, and operational requirements. You’re not locked into a one-size-fits-all approach – your trigger depth should match your actual business needs.
Ice control is included in most commercial snow removal contracts, though material costs are typically separate from plowing fees. We apply rock salt for most situations, but switch to sand or alternative materials for environmentally sensitive areas or extreme cold conditions when salt becomes ineffective. The key is applying the right material at the right time – pre-treatment before storms, post-plowing application, and follow-up treatments during freeze-thaw cycles. Your property’s specific needs determine the ice control strategy.
Proper snow removal starts with knowing your property layout before the first snowfall. We mark sensitive areas like sprinkler heads, decorative lighting, and landscape beds during our initial site visit. Our operators use appropriate equipment for each area – smaller machines near buildings and delicate features, larger equipment for open areas. We also establish designated snow storage areas that won’t block drainage or damage grass when spring melting occurs. Experience with excavating work gives our operators the precision needed to protect your property investment.
Equipment redundancy is part of running a professional snow removal operation. We maintain backup plows and have relationships with other local contractors for emergency situations. If a primary truck goes down, we have contingency plans to keep your property serviced. Our excavating and trucking operations also mean we have additional heavy equipment that can be adapted for snow removal if needed. The goal is ensuring your property gets cleared regardless of mechanical issues, though major regional storms can strain any contractor’s resources.
Commercial snow removal pricing depends on property size, access difficulty, trigger depth, and service frequency requirements. Most Athol commercial properties range from $75-200 per plowing for standard lots, with larger facilities and complex sites costing more. Seasonal contracts often provide better value than per-storm pricing, especially during heavy snow years. Salt and ice control materials add $20-50 per application depending on coverage area. We provide written estimates after evaluating your specific property rather than giving generic phone quotes that don’t reflect your actual needs.
