Commercial Snow Plowing for Highland Park properties

Plowing Highland Park properties means working around ravine-side residential, downtown commercial and institutional properties. Worth knowing about this area: the ravines and mature tree cover leave large shaded stretches of pavement that refreeze long after the rest of a property has dried. That changes where the blade goes and where the snow ends up, which is why the route is planned on the property rather than off a map.

On timing: Shaded areas need a second treatment in the afternoon that sunlit properties never do. Where a property sits in the route is agreed before the season, in writing.

Commercial Snow Plowing near me in Highland Park, IL

Highland Park is inside the regular route out of Waukegan, and the position a Highland Park property holds in that order is agreed before the season rather than decided during a storm. Trucks run with blades on from the first flake. On a long storm we come back through rather than waiting for it to finish, because a lot that gets plowed twice at four inches is faster and safer than a lot plowed once at eight.

Commercial Snow Plowing in Highland Park: questions

Do you cover Highland Park, or is it outside the route?

Highland Park is in the route. Shaded areas need a second treatment in the afternoon that sunlit properties never do. Where a property sits in the order is agreed before the season, and you are told plainly rather than promised a response time.

What makes Highland Park properties different to plow?

The ravines and mature tree cover leave large shaded stretches of pavement that refreeze long after the rest of a property has dried. It is the kind of thing a site walk catches and a satellite image does not.

What trigger depth do you plow at?

Two inches is the common default for commercial lots in Lake County, but the trigger is set per property. Medical, daycare and early-shift industrial sites often run a one-inch trigger. It is written into the agreement so there is no argument mid-storm.

Do you plow during a storm or wait until it stops?

During. On anything over about four inches we make return passes so the lot never gets ahead of us. Waiting for a storm to end is what leaves a lot packed and icy.

What depth do you plow at?

Two inches is the usual commercial default, set per property. Medical, daycare and early-shift industrial sites often run a one-inch trigger. It is agreed before the season and written down.
