One storm night, hour by hour.

Example storm, illustrative times and depths An example storm, four to seven inches overnight. This is what happens on your lot while you sleep.

  1. Before the storm

    Station 1 of 7

    18:00 Brine down

    Snowfall 0 inOn pavement 0 in

    Liquid brine laid in stripes on dry pavement before the first flake.

    Brine stops snow bonding to the surface, so the first push scrapes to blacktop instead of packing to ice.

    Example storm, illustrative times and depths An example storm, four to seven inches overnight. This is what happens on your lot while you sleep.

  2. Snow falling thick through a single lamp over a fenced lot at night.

    Station 2 of 7

    21:00 First flakes

    Snowfall 0.5 inOn pavement 0.5 in

    Snow starts under the lot lights. Dispatch watches the radar and the site cameras.

    Brine goes down on a forecast; plows wait for a measured depth, so you pay for work, not worry.

  3. A lot under one lamp at night, the attendant booth and the painted lines going white under fresh snow.

    Station 3 of 7

    22:40 Trigger reached

    Snowfall 2 inOn pavement 2 in

    Two inches on the gauge. Your route is dispatched and the trucks roll.

    The trigger depth is written into your contract. Below it we monitor; at it we plow.

  4. A plow comes head-on through the dark, its lights lighting the spray of snow thrown off the blade.

    Station 4 of 7

    00:30 First push

    Snowfall 3.5 inOn pavement 0 in

    Plows open the drive lanes first, rolling the snow into windrows along the edges.

    Lanes first keeps the lot passable for emergency vehicles while the storm is still falling.

  5. A loader lifts snow onto a pile in a whiteout while a crew member in a reflective vest walks toward it.

    Station 5 of 7

    03:00 Stacking

    Snowfall 5 inOn pavement 1 in

    A loader lifts the windrows onto the stacking area agreed at the site walk.

    Piles go where they will not block sightlines, drains or parking, and melt away from the doors.

  6. Salt crystals and wet pavement catching the light at ground level.

    Station 6 of 7

    04:15 Final push, then treat

    Snowfall 6 inOn pavement 0 in

    A last pass scrapes the lot. Blowers clear the walks; salt goes down on lanes, walks and entrances.

    Rock salt works to about 15°F. On colder nights we switch to a treated blend that keeps working.

  7. Blue hour after the storm: a cleared path runs wet and black beside a high plowed bank, street lamps still lit.

    Station 7 of 7

    05:00 Clear

    Snowfall 6 inOn pavement 0 in

    Lanes and walks open to black, banks pushed back past the lamps. Photos are filed to your account.

    The first car in the morning finds blacktop, not a bill to argue about.

Contracts

Three ways to pay for winter.

We measure your site first, then quote one price per season, per push or per storm. The number depends on your square footage, your walks and where the snow can go, so we do not publish one.

How a quote works

  1. 01

    Site walk

    We measure the lot, walks and entrances, and agree where snow can be stacked.

  2. 02

    Route plan

    Your site goes on a route with a set order, so you know when the truck arrives.

  3. 03

    One price

    You choose seasonal, per-push or per-storm. The price is in writing before the first flake.

Example visit log: fictional sites and times

  1. Visit log, one card per visit

    Every visit, timestamped.

    Each truck files a visit log before it leaves your site. You see the same log we do.
