Snow Removal Process

Simple Process, Reliable Results

We start with a property assessment to understand your specific needs – driveway layout, snow storage areas, and priority access points. Then we establish your service schedule based on snowfall triggers and your property requirements.

When snow starts falling, we monitor conditions and deploy equipment based on accumulation levels. For most residential properties, we begin plowing at 2-3 inches. Commercial clients often need service at lower accumulation levels to maintain business operations.

After plowing, we apply ice melt or salt as needed for safe walking and driving surfaces. We stack snow in predetermined areas that won’t block drainage or create visibility issues. You get a clear property without damage to landscaping or pavement.

How much snow needs to fall before you start plowing?

For most residential driveways, we start plowing at 2-3 inches of accumulation. Commercial properties often need service at 1-2 inches to keep businesses accessible throughout the day. We customize the trigger depth based on your specific needs and property use. During heavy, ongoing storms, we may make multiple passes to prevent snow from becoming too deep and difficult to move. The key is maintaining access rather than waiting for the storm to end.
Yes, we offer emergency snow removal service for urgent situations during severe weather events. This includes medical emergencies, business-critical access needs, or safety situations where immediate plowing is necessary. Emergency service is prioritized based on severity and safety concerns. We charge premium rates for emergency calls outside normal service schedules, but we’re available when you truly need immediate access during major storm events that shut down regular operations.

Seasonal contracts provide guaranteed service and locked-in pricing for the entire winter season, typically November through April. You pay a flat monthly rate regardless of snowfall amounts, which helps with budget planning. Contract customers get priority scheduling during major storms and guaranteed service throughout the season. We include normal plowing and ice treatment in seasonal rates. The contract covers your specific property based on square footage and complexity, with clear terms about service triggers and response times.
Professional snow removal should not damage your property when done correctly. We use appropriate equipment for your surface type and mark any obstacles or sensitive areas before the season starts. Our operators are experienced with different pavement types and know how to avoid scraping or gouging surfaces. We identify snow storage areas that won’t damage plants or block drainage. However, we do recommend marking any lawn edges, decorative elements, or underground utilities that might not be visible under snow cover.
Yes, ice treatment is a standard part of our snow removal service. We apply rock salt or ice melt products after plowing to prevent ice formation and provide safe walking and driving surfaces. The type and amount of treatment depends on temperature conditions and your specific needs. Some clients prefer minimal salt use near vegetation, while others prioritize maximum ice prevention. We adjust our approach based on your preferences and current weather conditions to provide effective ice management without overuse of materials.
