City-smart snow response
City winters in Los Gatos, California demand precision: we plow clean lines, shovel every entry, and salt smart so shoppers and commuters stay safe.
We pre-plan alleys, loading zones, and curbside parking so nothing is blocked.
Our culture is built on respect: clear communication with owners, careful edges near glass and landscaping, and quiet equipment choices for early morning pushes. We keep backup equipment staged within the city to avoid downtime if a machine needs service.
Reflective gear, cones on slick spots, and careful blade height near decorative pavers.
Reports delivered to your inbox for easy forwarding.
Documented safety checks on plows, blowers, and spreaders.
We match equipment to the block: compact plows for tight lanes, walk-behind blowers for long sidewalks, and hand crews for stairs and vestibules.
Attention to window wells, planters, and signage bases.
Tight-turn plowing for townhomes and condos.
Docks, freight corridors, and alley access cleared early.
Pre-treat high-traffic zones, then targeted melt for black-ice patches.
We run quiet where we can, move quickly where we must, and always finish with clean edges and clear entrances. When ice threatens, we adjust blends; when plows push windrows onto your curb, we return to reopen; when temps swing, we sweep again so overnight refreeze does not surprise early commuters.
Storm desk tracks traffic patterns and reroutes in real time
Cones and markers on active walks
Add haul-away or loader time when storms stack up
We log lessons after each storm to make the next one smoother
Boutique owner in Los Gatos, California: Quiet, polite, and the edges looked hand-drawn.
Clinic director in Los Gatos, California: ADA ramps were double-checked and photographed.
Property manager in Los Gatos, California: They worked around our delivery window and returned to reopen the crosswalk.
We start with a site walk to mark hydrants, drains, curb cuts, and stacking spots, capturing photos for the route book. We debrief after each storm to tighten the plan for the next one.
We move when your trigger hits or when ice risk demands pre-treat.
We brief crews on each buildings sensitive spots.
We sweep away melt pools and reopen crosswalks if windrows form.
We store logs so you can retrieve them anytime.
Our standard is usable, slip-resistant pavementnot just a pass with a plow. We inspect for downspouts draining across walks, shaded black-ice zones, and spots where salt might scar metal thresholds, then adjust blends and techniques. Communication is part of the promise: ETAs before arrival, on-site updates during the storm, and photo proof when we finish.
We protect the streetscape: rubber edges near pavers, cones on wet spots, and broom finishes by glass storefronts. Accessibility matters: ADA ramps, tactile strips, and crosswalk entries get double sweeps; handrails are brushed so grip stays strong; shaded stairs get extra melt during temperature swings. After the storm, we walk the site: draining melt away from doors, checking for thin ice near gutters, and tidying pile edges so the block looks cared for.
