City-smart snow response
City winters in Northfield, 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 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 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
Refreeze patrols on shaded sidewalks and garage ramps
Clear scope with options for zero-tolerance, per-push, or seasonal

Primary and backup crews are assigned to your Northfield, MN address to guarantee continuity even in long storms. 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 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 inspect for downspouts draining across walks, shaded black-ice zones, and spots where salt might scar metal thresholds, then adjust blends and techniques. 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. 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. All actions are logged so you have proof for boards, tenants, or insurers.
