Trigger Point
Our standard "trigger" (the amount of snow needed before we start snow removal) is 2". We also offer a 1" trigger. We use reports from the National Weather Service as well as on-site measurements to determine how much snow has fallen.
​
Sidewalks and Stairs
We can clear sidewalks and stairs to your front door as well as in front of the garage door.
Ice Management
Our standard service does not include de-icing products but can be added as an option. The rates are based on the quantity used.
We can put down salt when we are at your property doing snow removal and when conditions are slippery, including when mixed precipitation or freezing rain occurs.

What is included with your Seasonal Snow Removal Agreement:​
-
Shoveling the sidewalk to the house
-
Placing guide stakes at the edges of the driveway to give a visual guide of where the driveway meets the lawn
-
The depth of snow does not matter (for seasonal customers) unless it’s more than 10″ with any single snow fall. A "Blizzard Clause" is invoked for snowfalls exceeding ten (10") inches over a 24-hour period. A $75.00 surcharge will be added to yearly agreements with these very rare snow falls. (We have had 3 in the last 7 years). This does not affect the pay-as-you-go service.
