As soon as we become aware of a weather system our crews are notified of the approaching system and we begin testing and maintaining our equipment for optimal performance. We also keep back-up vehicles and tools on hand to ensure that if a problem does occur we can still provide our customers with the reliable service they are accustom to.

Snow plowing begins at the designated accumulation level that your contract states. AK Lawncare offers multiple contracts that range from 1” to 4” depending on the needs of our customers. The most common contract begins at 2”. With this contract we will be measuring snow depths before the accumulation even gets to the plowing point. When accumulations do reach the plow point you can be sure that we will arrive on site immediately if we are not already there. The entire contracted area will be plowed completely and thoroughly after accumulation requirements are met and return services will be provided every 3 to 4 inches of accumulation.

We have more than 100 tons of bulk rock salt at our shop. When a storm is approaching we will load our salting vehicles with the ice melting products our contracts require before it is time to salt. This way when the time does arrive to salt all we have to do is drive to the site and begin our work. Salting occurs when less than 2” of snow accumulates, after plowing and when icy conditions occur. We feel this is the most important part of our job as snow contractors.

If it is included in your contract, the areas designated as walkways to be cleared will be cleared by use of shovel, or snow blower either during or immediately after we perform our plowing service. In the event that a snow storm produces levels of snow over 6” walkways will be cleared after the storm is over and all accumulation has stopped unless the client is a business that is open during the storm.
