Sidewalk Snow Clearing in Nelsonville

Sidewalk snow clearing covers everything a plow truck cannot reach. That means the public walk along the front of a building, the path from the lot to the door, the steps and the handrails at the entrance, the landing people stand on while they dig for keys, and around here the ramp if there is one. We clear it down with shovels and walk behind equipment and then treat it, because a swept walk that is still damp at thirty degrees becomes the slickest surface on the property within a couple of hours. It is detail work, and it is the part of a property most people actually touch with their feet.

Tell us exactly which paths matter to you, because a property usually has more walking surface than anyone wants cleared, and we would rather spend the time on the routes people really use. We need to know where the steps and the edges are, which is harder than it sounds once there is snow on everything, so flagging the first and last step and any drop off along a path helps. Doormats, planters, salt buckets and seasonal decorations are worth moving before winter so nothing gets caught under a shovel. If your building has a code or a key for a gate or a side entry, we need that squared away ahead of the first storm rather than during it.
