City-smart snow response
City winters in Andalusia, IL 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.
GPS dispatch plus before-and-after photos.
Fully insured crews with background checks and ID badges.
We pre-treat when temps drop, then sweep again after the storm to stop refreeze.
Attention to window wells, planters, and signage bases.
Drainage checked so melt runs away from doors and elevators.
Docks, freight corridors, and alley access cleared early.
Follow-up sweeps in drifting or shaded areas.
City winters reward planning: we set triggers, map stacking, and assign backups so there is no guesswork when flakes fall. 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.

We start with a site walk to mark hydrants, drains, curb cuts, and stacking spots, capturing photos for the route book. Before storms we fuel, check blades and edges, and stage melt; during events we send interval updates; after, we sweep again for refreeze on shaded stretches.
We move when your trigger hits or when ice risk demands pre-treat.
We brief crews on each buildings sensitive spots.
We schedule refreeze checks overnight and at dawn.
Every visit comes with photos, timestamps, and melt data.
Our standard is usable, slip-resistant pavementnot just a pass with a plow. We carry reserve melt and fuel in the city to avoid supply hiccups when storms stack up. 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.
