City-smart snow response
City winters in Cologne, Minnesota demand precision: we plow clean lines, shovel every entry, and salt smart so shoppers and commuters stay safe.
We manage noise and timing for residents and shop owners who rely on clear walks at dawn.
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.
Reflective gear, cones on slick spots, and careful blade height near decorative pavers.
Reports delivered to your inbox for easy forwarding.
Fully insured crews with background checks and ID badges.
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.
Drainage checked so melt runs away from doors and elevators.
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
Clear scope with options for zero-tolerance, per-push, or seasonal

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 sweep away melt pools and reopen crosswalks if windrows form.
Every visit comes with photos, timestamps, and melt data.
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. We set stacking zones that preserve sightlines for drivers and pedestrians. 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.
