Who We Are

We are the city strike team of a national snow network, pairing local street knowledge with national QA. Operators are vetted, uniformed, insured, and trained on tight-space maneuvering. We prize punctuality, polite interactions with neighbors, and low-noise approaches at dawn.

Coaching spans curb control, melt calibration, ADA clearance, and scanning for urban trip risks. Storm desk keeps eyes on radar, transit delays, and bridge closures to reroute teams fast. Redundancies across neighborhoods prevent bottlenecks.

From boutiques to brownstones, from clinics to condos, we keep Cottage Grove, Minnesota walkable. Each site gets a micro-map noting drains, bike racks, hydrants, curb cuts, and canopy drip lines.

Services

• Sidewalks and stoops polished with broom finishes and neat curb lines.
• We plow alleys and bays while stacking snow where it will not block views.
• Melt is calibrated for pavers and stone; crosswalks and ramps get extra checks.
• ADA routes are hand-cleared and melt-dosed to keep traction without residue.
• Seasonal contracts, per-event dispatch, emergency call-outs, and micro-route options for neighboring clients.

Add-ons: haul-away for tight city lots, stair tower brooming, bike-rack clearance, and post-storm glass cleaning on request.

Why Choose Us

We blend scale and street-speed: national standards, local dispatchers, and neighborhood crews who know every alley. First passes fly out quickly to open doors, then we return for polishing and ice sweeps. Billing stays crisp with photos and agreed scopes.

Risk control sits at the core: cones, signage, melt calibration, and brooming near decorative surfaces. Brand protection matters: clean equipment, polite greetings, and tidy stack zones keep your frontage looking premium.

How We Work

Sequence: monitor, pre-treat, clear, broom, melt, inspect, photo. Tools match surfaces: plows for pads, blowers for walks, brooms for pavers, rubber edges for delicate brick. Materials are staged nearby so storms never outrun us.

Comms cadence: pre-storm notice, en-route ETA, mid-storm update, completion proof, and refreeze alert. Auto-dispatch based on your thresholds removes delay.

Safety, Compliance, and Urban Care

Safety in the city means wider ADA paths, clear crosswalk lines, and melt dosage that avoids residue on polished stone. We log slip scores at arrival and departure, photograph hazards, and drop cones where sightlines shrink. All paperworkinsurance, permits, equipment checksstays current and ready for your building management. We roll back when temps dip to stop black ice.

Surface protection: poly edges near curbs, broom-first on pavers, melt calibrated for stone thresholds. Drain grates are opened so melt runs to the right spots; canopy drip lines are treated early. We keep hydrants, standpipes, and egress paths completely visible for inspectors.

Playbooks by Property Type

Storefronts and cafs get front walks, patio edges, and curb cuts cleared first, then loading alleys and parking pads. Hospitality routes clear porte-cochre lanes and luggage paths before lots. Schools and childcare sites get parent loops, bus bays, and crosswalk guards salted early. Clinics get ramps, ambulance access, and reserved doctor parking first. Brownstones and homes are cleared with hand tools for fine control.

Communication flexes per property: retailers want pre-open photos; boards want concise status; hotels want late-night ETAs; clinics want ETA boards; residents want simple texts. We log quirks: low awnings, sculpture placements, bike corrals, planter boxes, and glass corners.

We clear paths for mail, packages, rideshare pickups, and pet walks, keeping life flowing even in heavy bands. Paver walks and stone stoops get melt dialed low with broom-first technique.

Strategy, Guarantees, and Upkeep

We co-write a winter plan: trigger depths, priority doors, stack corners, melt preferences, and who approves extras. We guarantee on-time first passes, evidence, and refreeze checks. Angles and markers keep turf and stone safe.

Long storms trigger mid-event cleanups; marginal temps trigger dusk and dawn sweeps. If haul-away is needed, we coordinate loaders, trucks, routes, and permitted dump sites. Roof drip lines, gutters, and awnings are checked so icicles do not create sidewalk hazards.

Community, Environment, and Courtesy

Melt is dosed carefully, sweeping comes first, drains are protected, idling is limited. We reuse markers, recycle pallets, and keep engines tuned to cut emissions. Courtesy rules: no blocking sidewalks, no stacking against vehicles, no spray on glass or displays.

Communication is always human: dispatch answers calls, route leads text when near, and follow-ups share photos. Crew leads can align with your preferred language for clarity.
