Core service · Snow & ice

Commercial snow & ice management

Parking lots, roadways, entrances and walkways cleared and salted to a written plan, with the equipment, crews and monitoring to keep that standard through the worst storms of the season.

What we clear, salt and watch

We plan every site surface by surface, so the areas people actually walk and drive through get cleared first, and the crew arriving at 3 a.m. already knows exactly what to do and in what order.

Parking lots
Full-lot clearing with loaders, tractors and trucks sized to the site, plus a plan for where the snow goes so you don't lose parking spaces by February.
Roadways & drive aisles
Internal roads, ring roads and drive aisles kept passable for residents, staff, deliveries and emergency vehicles.
Entrances & drop-offs
Canopies, drop-offs and main doors are cleared and salted first, every time.
Walkways & sidewalks
Walkways get their own crews and machines, planned and staffed separately from the lot.
Snow relocation & removal
Piles moved or trucked away before they take over parking spaces or block the view at exits.
High-traffic inspections
Return visits and inspections on sites where traffic re-exposes surfaces through the day.

The plan

Triggers and response times, set for your site

A distribution yard and a retirement residence don't need the same service. We set the standard by what's at stake: where a delay means an ambulance can't reach the door, we come sooner and more often.

Trigger
2.5 cm or 4 cm
We start clearing at 2.5 cm or 4 cm depending on the site. Medical, retirement and other properties where access can't wait get the 2.5 cm trigger.
Timing
Overnight completion
Lots cleared and salted before your property opens for the day.
Priority surfaces
The surfaces you name (emergency entrances, drop-offs, accessible parking, main doors) are always done first.
Ice
Salting program
Scheduled and storm-driven salting, with the amount recorded on every pass, plus walkway salt bins your staff can use between our visits.
Follow-up
Return trips
Return trips after the city plow buries your entrance, or once cars have moved and the rest of the lot can be cleared.
Record
Documentation
Time-stamped logs, GPS tracks and photos for every visit.

Ice control

Salting and freezing-rain response

Freezing rain is where properties get into trouble. It arrives fast, coats everything at once and causes more slip-and-fall claims than snow ever does. So we plan for ice separately from plowing, with its own triggers, materials and records.

We buy and store our own salt before the season, so a shortage in the region doesn't become a problem on your site.

Talk to us about ice control
  • Freezing rain treated as its own event, with its own trigger and crew
  • Salt amounts matched to the surface: asphalt, interlock and concrete all behave differently
  • Walkway salt bins placed and refilled so your staff can treat a slippery spot between our visits
  • A record of what we applied, where and how much, on every pass
  • Zero-tolerance ice programs for properties that need them

During a storm

What happens on your property during a storm

01 · Before
Watching & getting ready
We watch the forecast around the clock. Crews, equipment and salt are assigned to routes before the first flake falls.
02 · During
Dispatch & priorities
Priority surfaces first, then the rest of the site. Dispatch moves equipment around as conditions change or a site needs more help.
03 · Finishing
Final pass & salting
A final pass, salting, walkway touch-ups and a check of entrances, accessible parking and exits before you open.
04 · After
Records & follow-up
The visit is logged, return trips are scheduled if needed, and we review anything that didn't go to plan.

Questions property managers ask

What happens when the city grader buries our entrance?

We plan for it. If your entrance is on a city plow route, a return trip after the city runs is built into your plan, and you can always call it in if the timing's off.

Do you guarantee completion times?

Yes, where the property needs it. Guaranteed windows, including overnight completion, are written into your plan. The site visit is where we work out what your property needs.

How is commercial snow priced?

Most properties are on a seasonal contract priced against the written plan, so your budget is fixed no matter how many storms land. Per-storm and hybrid pricing are available if a board prefers them. What drives the price is the plan itself: triggers, priority surfaces, walkway scope and snow removal.

How do we prove service happened after a slip-and-fall claim?

Every visit is time-stamped, GPS-tracked and photographed, and we keep those records. Property managers use them directly when a claim comes in.

Can you handle a portfolio of properties?

Yes. You get one point of contact and the same standard across every site, but each property still gets its own plan rather than one package applied to all of them.

What if we need more service than the contract covers mid-season?

Call us. Plans can change mid-season, whether that's a tighter trigger, more walkway work or extra snow removal. We'll price the change and schedule it.
