We Know Adirondack Winter Weather

Emerson Excavating and Trucking has been handling snow removal throughout the Adirondack region for years. We understand how quickly weather changes up here and what it takes to keep properties clear when the storms roll through.

Our equipment is built for the job, and our operators know the difference between clearing a residential driveway and managing a commercial parking lot. We’ve seen every type of snow condition the Adirondacks can throw at us.

When you call us, you’re working with a local company that’s been through countless winter seasons right here in your backyard.

Snow Cleaning Process

Straightforward Snow Clearing That Works

We start by evaluating your property and understanding your specific needs. Every driveway, parking lot, and walkway has different requirements, and we map out the most efficient clearing approach for your space.

When snow starts falling, we monitor conditions and deploy equipment based on accumulation and your service agreement. For commercial properties, we typically begin plowing at 2-3 inches to maintain access throughout the storm.

After clearing, we handle ice management with appropriate salt or sand application. We stack snow in designated areas that won’t block drainage or create visibility issues. If you need snow hauled away due to space constraints, we handle that too.

Complete Winter Property Maintenance

Everything You Need for Winter Access

Our snow removal service includes complete lot and driveway plowing, walkway clearing, and ice management. We bring commercial-grade equipment sized appropriately for your property, whether that’s a residential driveway or a large commercial complex.

Ice control is included with rock salt application on cleared surfaces. For properties with specific environmental concerns or landscaping considerations, we can use alternative ice management products that are less harsh on vegetation and concrete.

Emergency storm response means we’re available when the heavy snow hits, not just during regular business hours. Winter weather doesn’t follow a schedule, and neither do we when you need your property accessible.

How quickly do you respond during major snow storms?

We monitor weather conditions continuously during winter months and begin deploying equipment as soon as accumulation reaches trigger levels, typically 2-3 inches for most commercial properties. Emergency response times depend on storm severity and route logistics, but we prioritize getting to all contracted properties within the first few hours of significant snowfall. For residential customers, response times may be longer during major storms as we focus on keeping commercial properties and main access routes clear first, then move to residential areas systematically.
Commercial snow removal includes complete parking lot plowing, loading dock access, walkway clearing, and ice management with salt application. We handle snow stacking in appropriate areas of your property and can provide snow hauling if space is limited. Service frequency depends on your contract terms, but most commercial properties receive attention every 2-3 inches of accumulation during active storms. We also provide pre-storm ice treatment when conditions warrant and post-storm cleanup to ensure all areas are properly cleared and treated.
We offer both seasonal contracts and per-storm pricing to match different property needs and budgets. Seasonal contracts provide predictable costs and priority service during storms, making them popular with businesses that need guaranteed access. Per-storm pricing works well for residential customers or businesses that prefer to pay only when service is needed. Seasonal contracts typically include unlimited plowing events above the trigger depth, ice management, and priority response times during major storms.
Professional snow plowing should not damage properly maintained surfaces when performed correctly. Our operators adjust blade height and technique based on surface type, whether it’s asphalt, concrete, or gravel. We use rubber cutting edges and proper angles to avoid scraping or gouging. However, we do recommend marking any obstacles, decorative elements, or sensitive areas before winter begins. Pre-existing surface damage like cracks or loose gravel can be worsened by plowing, which is why we walk through properties before the season starts to identify any concerns.
While we plan routes carefully and maintain backup equipment, extreme weather conditions can occasionally delay service. If we encounter access issues or equipment problems that prevent timely service, we contact affected customers as soon as possible with updated timing. We prioritize catching up on any delayed properties as soon as conditions allow and may adjust service timing to ensure you receive the clearing you need. Our goal is consistent, reliable service, but we also believe in transparent communication when circumstances beyond our control affect normal operations.
Ice management includes applying rock salt or ice melt to cleared surfaces based on temperature conditions and surface type. Standard rock salt works effectively down to about 20 degrees, while specialized ice melts handle lower temperatures. We adjust application rates based on conditions – light applications for prevention, heavier coverage for existing ice. For properties with landscaping concerns or concrete sensitivity, we can use alternative products that are less corrosive. Ice treatment timing depends on weather conditions, but we typically apply material immediately after plowing and may return for additional applications during extended cold periods.
