City-smart snow response
City winters in Independence, MN 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.
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.
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

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.
We store logs so you can retrieve them anytime.
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 keep hydrants, bike racks, and bus stops clear so the block keeps moving. We set stacking zones that preserve sightlines for drivers and pedestrians. All actions are logged so you have proof for boards, tenants, or insurers.
