Professional Snow Plowing Services

Safe Access All Winter Long

You wake up to a cleared driveway while your neighbors are still digging out. Your business stays open when competitors close due to impassable parking lots.

That’s what reliable snow removal does for you. No more calling in late to work because you can’t get out of your driveway. No more losing customers because they can’t safely reach your front door.

When Lake Luzerne gets hit with those heavy, wet storms that shut down half the region, you’ll have the peace of mind that comes from knowing your property is already handled. Your insurance company will thank you too – cleared walkways and parking areas mean fewer slip-and-fall claims and liability headaches.

Lake Luzerne Snow Removal Experts

We Know Adirondack Winter Weather

We’ve been serving Lake Luzerne and the surrounding Adirondack region for years. We’re not just a snow removal company that disappears in spring – we’re a full-service excavating and trucking operation that’s here year-round.

That means when you call us in January during a blizzard, you’re reaching a business that’s invested in this community. We know which roads get plowed first, how the lake effect hits different parts of town, and exactly what kind of snow removal equipment works best in our terrain.

Our operators live here too. They understand that Lake Luzerne winters aren’t just about moving snow – they’re about keeping families safe and businesses running when Mother Nature throws her worst at us.

Snow Removal Process

Simple Process, Reliable Results

We start by walking your property to understand your specific needs. Every driveway, parking lot, and walkway has its own challenges – tight turns, delicate landscaping, or areas where snow can’t be piled.

Once we know your property, we set up a service schedule that works for your situation. Some customers want us there at the first inch of snow. Others prefer we wait until the storm passes completely.

When snow starts falling, our operators are already staged and ready. We monitor weather forecasts closely and begin operations based on your preferences and the storm’s intensity. You’ll wake up to cleared surfaces, with snow piled in designated areas that won’t block drainage or create problems when it melts.

For businesses, we coordinate timing around your operating hours. No point in clearing a parking lot at 2 AM if you don’t open until 9 AM and more snow is coming.

More Than Just Moving Snow

Our snow removal service covers everything you need to keep your property accessible and safe. We handle driveways, parking lots, walkways, and loading areas with equipment sized appropriately for each space.

For residential properties, we’re careful around vehicles, landscaping, and decorative elements. Our operators know the difference between pushing snow efficiently and protecting your investment in hardscaping and plants.

Commercial clients get priority treatment for customer access areas, ADA-compliant pathways, and emergency vehicle routes. We understand that your business can’t afford to lose a day of revenue because customers can’t safely reach your location.

We also provide ice management when conditions require it. Lake Luzerne’s freeze-thaw cycles can create hazardous conditions even after the snow stops, and we’re equipped to handle those situations before they become liability issues.

How much snow needs to fall before you start plowing?

That depends entirely on your needs and preferences. Most residential customers prefer we start plowing at 2-3 inches, which prevents snow from getting packed down and harder to remove. Commercial properties often need service at 1-2 inches to maintain safe customer access throughout the day. We’ll discuss your specific trigger depth when we set up your service agreement. Some customers want us there during the storm to keep up with heavy snowfall, while others prefer we wait until it stops completely. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer – it’s about what works best for your situation and budget.
Yes, commercial snow removal is a significant part of our business. We handle everything from small office buildings to larger retail centers and industrial facilities. Commercial properties have different requirements than residential – you need reliable service that keeps customers and employees safe, maintains ADA compliance, and minimizes business disruption. We understand the liability issues businesses face and work around your operating schedule. For retail locations, we can clear parking areas before opening hours. For 24-hour operations, we coordinate service times that don’t interfere with your workflow. Our equipment is sized appropriately for commercial applications, and we carry proper insurance for commercial work.
Property protection is a priority for us, which is why we walk every property before providing service. We identify potential problem areas like decorative stones, lawn edges, and delicate plantings, then adjust our approach accordingly. Our operators are experienced with different surface types and know how to clear snow without causing damage. However, we’re also properly insured for the rare occasions when accidents happen. Before starting service, we’ll point out any existing damage or areas of concern so there are no surprises later. Most damage occurs when property owners attempt DIY snow removal with inappropriate equipment or when inexperienced operators rush through jobs without understanding the property layout.
Emergency response is where our local presence really matters. We monitor weather forecasts closely and position equipment strategically before major storms hit. Our operators live in the area, so we’re not trying to get crews here from distant locations when roads are already dangerous. During severe weather events, we prioritize customers based on urgency – medical needs, business operations, and safety concerns get first attention. We maintain communication throughout major storms and can often reach properties even when municipal plowing is behind schedule. Having our own trucking operation means we’re not dependent on subcontractors who might not show up when conditions get difficult.
We offer both seasonal contracts and per-storm service, depending on what works better for your situation. Seasonal contracts provide budget predictability – you know exactly what you’ll pay regardless of whether we get 30 inches of snow or 80 inches. This option works well for businesses that need guaranteed service and homeowners who want winter expenses locked in. Per-storm pricing gives you more flexibility but can be more expensive during heavy snow years. Seasonal contract customers also get priority scheduling during major storms. We’ll review historical snowfall data for Lake Luzerne and help you decide which pricing structure makes more sense for your property and budget.
We provide snow removal services throughout Lake Luzerne and the immediate surrounding area. Our local presence means we can efficiently service properties within a reasonable radius of our base operations. This includes residential neighborhoods around the lake, Route 9N corridor businesses, and rural properties on the back roads that larger companies often skip. Being locally based means we understand the microclimates around Lake Luzerne – how lake effect snow hits different areas and which locations tend to get hit hardest during storms. We’re familiar with the road network and can reach customers even when some routes are still unplowed. If you’re unsure whether your property falls within our service area, give us a call and we’ll let you know.
