Clear Snow Before Access Becomes Unsafe

Winter Service Questions Come Up Every Season

Your driveway fills with heavy, wet snow overnight, and by morning the apron is packed solid enough to scrape undercarriages. Walkways ice over after a brief thaw, and delivery drivers hesitate at your front steps. In Bedford, winter storms arrive with little warning, and untreated surfaces quickly become slip hazards or access barriers.

Granite Peak Landscape Construction provides snow removal for residential and commercial properties, clearing driveways, parking areas, walkways, and entryways after accumulation. Our team responds based on snowfall totals and timing, using plows, shovels, and ice management products to restore safe access and reduce liability during winter months.

How Timely Clearing Reduces Risk and Downtime

Snow removal in Bedford begins once accumulation reaches the trigger depth specified in your service agreement, typically two to four inches. We plow driveways and parking lots first, then clear walkways and steps by hand or with smaller equipment to avoid damaging pavers or concrete edges.

After clearing, you will see open pavement with snow stacked in designated areas that do not block sightlines or drain paths. Ice melt or sand is applied to high-traffic zones where foot traffic or vehicle weight can refreeze meltwater into slick patches.

Granite Peak monitors weather forecasts and adjusts scheduling to account for overnight or early morning snowfall. For commercial properties, we prioritize entrances and ADA-compliant routes to maintain accessibility. Residential clients receive clearing before typical morning commutes, though timing depends on storm duration and crew availability across our service area.

Winter Service Questions Come Up Every Season

Property owners preparing for winter often ask how service timing is determined, what happens during multi-day storms, and whether ice treatment damages landscaping or paved surfaces.

What triggers snow removal service at my property?
Service begins when snowfall reaches the accumulation threshold set in your agreement, usually two to four inches. Granite Peak monitors conditions and dispatches crews based on storm timing and forecast totals.
How do you prevent damage to paved surfaces during plowing?
We use plow shoes or skid plates to keep blades slightly above pavers, asphalt, or decorative concrete. Hand shoveling is used near edges, steps, and delicate hardscape features.
When should I expect my driveway to be cleared after a storm?

Clearing typically occurs within a few hours of reaching the trigger depth, prioritized by service tier and storm severity. For overnight snow in Bedford, most residential driveways are cleared before 7 a.m.

Why do you apply sand or ice melt after plowing?
Ice melt lowers the freezing point of water on walkways and steps, preventing refreeze. Sand adds traction where chemical application could harm plantings or where temperatures drop too low for salt to work effectively.
What happens during extended or multi-day snow events?
We return for additional passes as accumulation builds, clearing routes before snow becomes too deep to plow efficiently. You receive service each time the trigger depth is reached during the storm.
