City-smart snow response
City winters in Hawarden, IA 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 document every visit with photos and timestamps so you can show tenants, insurers, and city inspectors that you acted fast and kept public paths safe.
We greet tenants and managers with quick updates, not loud engines.
GPS dispatch plus before-and-after photos.
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.
Hand shoveling, broom finish, and pet-safe melt where needed.
Tight-turn plowing for townhomes and condos.
Communication with building teams to time pushes with deliveries.
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.

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.
