Northgate Snow & Ice Removal

Snow Hauling & Relocation across Waukegan and Lake County

By the middle of a heavy winter the piles become the problem. They eat parking stalls, block the sight line at exits so drivers pull out blind, drift back across the lot in wind, and melt across the pavement in the afternoon to refreeze overnight in exactly the traffic path.

Relocation moves the pile to a better corner of the property, which is the cheaper fix when there is room. Hauling takes it off site entirely, which is what a tight urban lot or a full property needs. Either one is priced per job rather than folded into a seasonal rate, because how much snow a winter delivers is not something anyone can price in October.

The right time to move a pile is before it melts and refreezes, not after. A pile that has gone through a thaw cycle is a block of ice and takes far longer to break up and load.

Snow Hauling & Relocation questions

When is it worth hauling snow rather than pushing it?

When the piles are costing you parking stalls, blocking sight lines, or melting across a traffic path and refreezing. On a small lot that can happen after two or three storms.

Can you move piles from a lot somebody else plows?

Yes. Relocation and hauling are booked as standalone jobs and do not require us to hold the plowing contract.

What area do you cover?

Waukegan and Lake County, Illinois, including Gurnee, Zion, North Chicago, Libertyville, Mundelein, Grayslake, Vernon Hills, Lake Forest, Highland Park, Deerfield, Buffalo Grove, the Round Lake and Fox Lake areas and the northern towns up to the state line.

Do you take commercial and residential work?

Both. Most of the work is commercial: parking lots, multi-unit properties, retail and office. Residential driveways are taken on per-storm and seasonal arrangements as route capacity allows.

How do you charge for snow removal?

Three ways. A fixed seasonal contract, a per-push rate billed per storm, or per job for one-off work like hauling and emergency call-outs. Salting is either bundled into a seasonal rate or billed per application.
