Snow Removal & Plowing in Chicagoland

Snow in Chicagoland is rarely one tidy event. It arrives overnight, it arrives through a working day, it arrives as four inches of wet slush that freezes solid by morning, and the street plow comes through afterwards and pushes a berm back across the apron you just cleared. For a homeowner that is an inconvenience. For a commercial property it is a closed lot, an entrance nobody will walk through, an accessible stall nobody can use, and a slip-and-fall exposure that lasts as long as the ice does.

We clear snow and ice across the greater Chicagoland area — residential driveways, aprons, and walks, and commercial, retail, industrial, and multi-unit parking lots. That means plowing the drive lanes and stalls, clearing by hand the walks, steps, and entrances a blade cannot reach, treating the cleared surface so meltwater does not refreeze overnight, and deciding in advance where the piles are going to sit. It is also work we come to from the other side: we spend the rest of the year laying and repairing the asphalt, concrete, and striping that a careless plow blade destroys, which is a useful thing to have in mind at four in the morning.

What snow removal covers

• Driveway and apron plowingResidential drives, aprons, and turnarounds cleared back to the pavement, including the berm the street plow leaves behind.
• Parking lot plowingCommercial, retail, industrial, and multi-unit lots cleared aisle by aisle so the stalls stay usable, not just the through route.
• Walks, steps, and entrancesHand-clearing of sidewalks, building entries, steps, and landings — everything a plow truck physically cannot get to.
• De-icing and saltingMaterial down on a cleared surface so a thaw-and-freeze cycle does not turn it into a sheet of black ice overnight.
• Snow stacking and relocationPile locations planned with you — clear of stalls, hydrants, drains, and the sight lines at your exit — and moved when the site runs out of room.
• Accessible stalls and fire lanesAccessible spaces, access aisles, and marked fire lanes kept clear, because a lot plowed around them is a lot that is not compliant.
• Drains and catch basins uncoveredFinding the drains under the snow so that when it does thaw the water leaves instead of pooling and refreezing across the lot.
• Pavement-aware plowingBlade height and plow routes set to the surface — new asphalt, sealcoated lots, concrete lips, curb edges, and wheel stops all damage differently.
