Who We Are
We specialize in dense Orono, MN corridors, mixed-use blocks, towers, and retail streets. We pre-walk sites to tag hydrants, bike racks, planters, and curb cuts so nothing gets damaged. Crews operate with low-noise practices for pre-dawn mobilizations.
Communication is constant: you get mobilization alerts, in-progress snapshots, and completion timestamps. High refreeze risk triggers overnight passes so entrances stay safe for the morning commute.
Services
Plowing & Snow Push
Curb lanes, alleys, docks, and approaches are cleared using compact plows that navigate tight turns. Snow is stacked where it will not block signage or pedestrian views.
De-Icing & Anti-Icing
We pre-treat concrete with brine and hit shady stoops or slopes with calibrated melts. Usage logs help you document sustainability and spend.
Sidewalk & Stair Care
Hand crews clear steps, vestibules, ADA ramps, bike corrals, and crosswalk entries with shovels and brooms. We use fine-grain melts that reduce scatter into landscaping.
Snow Relocation
When piles grow, we relocate or haul them during off-peak hours to keep access clear.
Refreeze Patrols
Overnight checks catch meltwater refreezing near drains, awnings, and north-facing walls.
Our Process
Pre-Storm: we map your Orono, MN block, mark hazards, pre-stage melts, and set communication windows. During snow, we run loops hitting entrances, ramps, docks, and crosswalk entries repeatedly. Post-Storm: we scrape down, clear drains, open fire access, and treat for overnight refreeze.
Documentation: every visit is logged with times, materials, and photos so you have proof for boards, insurers, or city inspectors.

Surface protection is core: broom finishes near glass storefronts, soft edges near decorative concrete, and melt rates tuned to ambient temps.

We scale staffing by storm class and density: more hand crews for pedestrian zones, more plow power for arterial pushes. Supervisors roam to check quality, capture photos, and tune routes on the fly.
