Let’s talk about your property!


What is snow plowing, and why is it important for my home?

Snow plowing involves the removal of snow from driveways, walkways, and other surfaces using specialized equipment. For luxury homes, snow plowing is crucial because:

  • Safety: Ensures that driveways, pathways, and entrances are clear of snow and ice, reducing the risk of accidents and falls.
  • Accessibility: Keeps your property accessible to residents, guests, and service providers during snowy conditions.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: Maintains a pristine and well-maintained appearance, enhancing the overall look of your property even in winter.

What are the benefits of professional snow plowing services?

Opting for professional snow plowing services offers several advantages:

  • Expertise: Professionals have the experience and knowledge to handle snow removal efficiently and safely.
  • High-Quality Equipment: Access to advanced plowing equipment that provides thorough and effective snow removal.
  • Timeliness: Reliable service that ensures timely snow removal, minimizing disruptions to your daily routine.
  • Comprehensive Service: Professional services often include salting and sanding, which help to prevent ice formation and improve traction.

What areas of my property will be covered by snow plowing services?

Snow plowing services typically cover:

  • Driveways: Clearing snow from the entire length and width of your driveway to ensure it is fully accessible.
  • Walkways and Paths: Removing snow from walkways, steps, and pathways leading to entrances.
  • Parking Areas: Clearing snow from any designated parking areas or courts.
  • Entryways: Ensuring that main entryways and high-traffic areas are accessible and safe.

How do you handle snow plowing during different snow conditions?

Handling various snow conditions involves:

  • Light Snowfall: For light snow, we use standard plowing techniques to keep surfaces clear and prevent accumulation.
  • Heavy Snowfall: During heavy snow, we deploy additional equipment and resources to manage large amounts of snow and ensure thorough removal.
  • Ice Formation: We apply salt or sand as needed to manage ice buildup and provide better traction on driveways and walkways.

When should snow plowing services be scheduled?

Snow plowing services should be scheduled:

  • Pre-Storm: For high-end properties, scheduling plowing before a storm can help ensure timely service and preparedness.
  • During Snowfall: For continuous snowfall, regular plowing may be necessary to keep up with accumulation and maintain accessibility.
  • Post-Storm: After a storm, thorough plowing is essential to clear any remaining snow and ensure all areas are safe and accessible.

How do you determine the frequency of snow plowing?

The frequency of snow plowing depends on:

  • Snow Accumulation: The amount of snow that falls and accumulates will dictate how often plowing is required.
  • Property Size: Larger properties with more extensive driveways and pathways may require more frequent service.
  • Weather Conditions: Forecasts and weather conditions are monitored to schedule plowing at optimal times to manage snow and ice effectively.
  • Type of Property: Is it a high or low traffic area? High traffic areas such as shopping plazas or food establishments may require more frequent service.

What equipment is used for snow plowing?

For effective snow plowing, we use a range of specialized equipment, including:

  • Plow Trucks: Equipped with front-mounted plows to clear large areas quickly.
  • Front End Loaders, Backhoes, and Skid Steers: Equipped with large plows or snow pushers to clear large parking or roadways quickly. 
  • Snow Blowers: Used for clearing smaller or more confined areas, such as walkways and entryways.
  • Salt Spreaders: Distribute salt or sand to prevent ice formation and improve traction.
  • ATVs or UTVs: For properties with tight or challenging access, smaller vehicles equipped with plows can be used to navigate effectively.

What are the costs associated with snow plowing services?

The cost of snow plowing services can vary based on several factors:

  • Property Size: Larger properties or more extensive areas require more time and equipment, affecting the cost.
  • Snowfall Amount: Higher accumulation may increase the frequency of plowing, impacting overall costs.
  • Service Frequency: Regular plowing throughout a season may be offered at a discounted rate compared to one-time services.
  • Additional Services: Costs may also include additional services like salting or sanding.

How can I prepare my property for snow plowing?

Preparing your property for snow plowing involves:

  • Clearing Obstacles: Remove any vehicles, outdoor furniture, or other obstacles from driveways and walkways to ensure clear access.
  • Marking Boundaries: Use markers or stakes to define the edges of driveways and walkways, helping plow operators avoid damaging landscaping.
