We show up on time.
For us, that means early.
Snow removal in Upper Arlington and Columbus
We clear driveways and walks after it snows, for homes in Upper Arlington and about 20 miles around. You choose the depth that brings us out, and you don’t need to call.
Limited places each winter: season-long and Maintenance Club customers come first.
What’s included
We clear exactly what your quote lists.
Your driveway
Cleared with our Kubota tractor and its front blade, a snow blower and shovels. The snow stays on your property, never in the street.
The walk, the steps, the sidewalk
The front walk, the front steps and the public sidewalk along your home, when your quote includes them. We clear the steps with a shovel.
Ice melt
When your quote includes it: on what we cleared, right after we clear it, each time we push. Never a trip of its own.
The ridge from the street
If clearing the street has left a ridge of snow at the end of your drive when we’re there, we clear it.
Marking your drive
Snow stakes along the edges of your drive, by November 15 or as soon as we can after it, if you’d rather we put them in. The stakes are yours.
We don’t clear roofs, decks, patios or the street.
How it’s priced
Per push: each time the snow on your drive reaches your depth, we clear it, and that push is billed. The price depends on the size of your drive: one or two cars, or three or more, or a long drive.
Or for the season, at a 2-inch depth: a season pass covers a set number of pushes, then each push after it is billed at your per-push price; a seasonal contract covers every push.
Per push is invoiced after each storm. A season is paid in one payment or in two halves. The Maintenance Club’s discount never applies to snow removal, but Club members come near the front of the route.

We do the work.
When the snow on your drive reaches your depth, in route order.
You pay when it’s done.
Unless your quote says otherwise.
Anything not right? Tell us.
That’s what our make-it-right guarantee is for.
When we come
Your depth, on your drive
1, 2 or 3 inches per push; 2 inches on a season pass or a seasonal contract. It’s the snow on your drive since our last push, measured by our crew. Drifts, the airport’s figure and forecasts don’t count.
In route order, without a call
Once your depth is reached, we come in route order. We don’t promise a time, or bare pavement. This is our first winter, and we’d rather tell you real times next year.
Long storms
Snow that starts again within 6 hours of stopping is the same storm. During a long storm, we come back once 6 more inches have fallen.
The season
Usually November 1 to March 31. On a snow day we come to seasonal and season-pass customers first, then Maintenance Club members, then other per-push customers.
Our word.
Three promises from the crew, and what happens if we ever fall short.
We do what we say we’ll do.
Our word is everything, and we aim to beat your expectations on every part of the job.
We leave your place better than we found it.
And if we ever fall short:
Make-it-right guarantee
If you're not satisfied with any part of our work, tell us and we'll come back and make it right at no extra cost. If we genuinely can't, we'll refund that visit. No fine print, no arguing about it.
Questions about snow removal
Do I need to call you when it snows?
No. Once the snow on your drive reaches your depth, we come in route order.
How soon after it snows will you come?
We don’t promise a time this season. This is our first winter, and we’d rather tell you real times next year.
Do you clear the sidewalk?
Yes, when your quote includes it: the public sidewalk along your home. In Upper Arlington, homeowners are responsible for clearing the sidewalk next to their property.
Will you clear the snow left at the end of my drive when the street is cleared?
If it’s there when we are, yes. We don’t make a separate trip for it. Upper Arlington says its crews won’t come back for snow pushed into a cleared driveway.
What if a car is in the way?
We clear around it as well as we safely can, and that counts as your push. If we can’t get in at all, we skip that push and don’t charge for it.
Do you put down ice melt?
Yes, when your quote includes it. We spread it on what we cleared, right after we clear it, each time we push. We don’t come out just to treat ice or to put it down before a storm, and we don’t watch your property between visits.
What should I do before it snows?
Mark the edges of your drive and walks, and anything within about a foot of them, such as sprinkler heads or low walls, by November 15. Or ask us to put snow stakes in for you: by November 15, or as soon as we can after it.
