The walk crew's territory
Front walks, steps, stoops, porches, mailbox paths, gate entries — the places a plow blade will never fit, cleared by hand and machine.
Sidewalks & walkways
Cleared by hand and snow-blower where the plow can't go — entries, steps and paths done edge to edge.
Sidewalks & walkways
Where the plow can't go, we go.
Plows handle the big surfaces; the walkway crew handles everything else. Front walks, steps, porches and building entrances get shoveled and snow-blown down to the pavement.
It's detail work, and it's where most companies get lazy. We cut clean edges, clear the full width, and salt behind us — so the path your family or your customers actually use is the safest part of the property.
The hand-work list
Everything between the door and the drive.
Full width, clean edges
Not a shovel-wide goat trail — the whole path, edge to edge, so two people pass without stepping into snow.
Salted behind the shovel
Cleared then treated, because a scraped walkway without salt is tomorrow's ice rink.
Entrances that say open
For businesses, the walkway IS the first impression — we treat it that way.
Add walks to any plan.
Bundled with plowing, or on their own.

The standard
What “done” means on a walkway.
Four checks before a walk crew moves on.
- Check one
Down to the surface
Snow and pack removed to pavement — not smoothed over it.
- Check two
The full width
Edge to edge on paths, every step's full tread on stairs.
- Check three
The touch points
Railings reachable, gates swinging, mail and bins accessible.
- Check four
Treated behind us
Salt down on the cleared line so the melt doesn't ambush you at dusk.
The driveway gets you out. The walkway gets everyone in.
Guests, mail carriers, customers, kids with backpacks — the walkway serves more people than any other pavement you own. It deserves better than being an afterthought.
Keep exploring
Pairs well with.
Snow plowing
Driveways, private roads and parking lots plowed promptly after the snow falls — stacked clean, and never pushed onto your sidewalk.

De-icing & salting
Salt and de-icer applied where ice actually forms, so steps, walkways and lots stay safe underfoot all winter.

Commercial snow & ice
Lots, entrances and walkways for businesses, HOAs and property managers — open by the time you are.

Frequently asked questions.
Do you clear sidewalks on every plow visit?
On most plans, yes — the walkway crew follows the plow so the whole property is done in one visit, not just the driveway.
Can you do just the sidewalks?
Absolutely. Some folks handle their own driveway and have us keep the walks and steps safe — we'll quote it standalone.
Do you clear steps and porches too?
Yes — steps, stoops and porches are core walk-crew work, treads cleared full-depth and treated.
Can you do a whole block of HOA sidewalks?
That's a sweet spot. HOA and multi-property sidewalk runs get their own route plan and one point of contact.
Will shovels and blowers damage pavers or stamped concrete?
We match the tool to the surface — poly edges and careful passes on decorative surfaces. Flag anything delicate at the estimate and it goes in the property notes.
Are estimates really free?
Yes — every estimate is free and carries no obligation. We look at the property, talk through what you want, and give you a clear number before any work starts.
