City-smart snow response
City winters in Bartonville, 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.
Documented safety checks on plows, blowers, and spreaders.
We pre-treat when temps drop, then sweep again after the storm to stop refreeze.
Hand shoveling, broom finish, and pet-safe melt where needed.
Tight-turn plowing for townhomes and condos.
Docks, freight corridors, and alley access cleared early.
Follow-up sweeps in drifting or shaded areas.
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.

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 use rubber edges near curbs and pavers, lift blades at transitions, and avoid piling near trees or signage.
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. You can reach a real person on our storm desk any hour the weather turns.
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.
