What we plow

Three jobs. One crew.

Big lots, quiet driveways, and the ice that’s left when the plow is done. Whatever the storm leaves, you have one number to call.

How a storm goes

From the list to the last lane.

Most of the work happens before it snows. Here’s the order it goes in.

On the list

Snow contracts are signed before the first push — that’s how your drive or your lot is on the route when it starts coming down, not the week after.

Staged

Loaders, plow trucks and salt spreaders staged and ready before the season starts.

The push

Night pushes with the loader and pusher box; the straight blade on the truck for driveways. Stacking goes where you want it, not wherever it lands.

The finish

Lots cleared for opening, not after it. Entrance drives and fire lanes kept open, and salt on the ice.

From the driver’s seat

A night shift, start to finish.

Snow coming down, plow on the pavement, lot getting cleared before anyone is up. This is the kind of night the winter crew works — tap play to ride along.

On site, mid-storm. Wind, whiteout and a lot full of snow — the wheel loader keeps pushing until the lot is clear and the doors can open on time.

Driveways

Driveways

Your drive. Open.

Back-drag off the garage door, marked edges stay marked, and a straight blade that fits between the garage and the mailbox. If you’re on a rural road the county gets to late, that’s exactly the drive we want.

Before the storm

Six things that make every push cleaner.

A few minutes of prep is good for your property and good for our blades.

Mark your edgesStakes along the edge of the drive and anything low — curbs, beds, septic lids — so the blade knows where the edge is.
Clear the wayVehicles, trailers and dumpsters out of the lane. A plow can’t push around a parked car.
Pick the pileTell us where the snow can go before the storm. Stacking goes where you want it — if we know ahead of time.
Open the accessGates unlocked, codes handy, and nothing blocking the entrance.
Flag the fragileNew sod, pavers, gravel drives, anything salt shouldn’t touch — tell us up front.
Call earlyContracts are signed before the first push. Call before it snows to ask what’s open this winter.
