For Anchorage driveways, plowing is scheduled around your trigger depth rather than a route that visits every property at the same time regardless of conditions. Sidewalk clearing can be bundled in, so the whole property is handled on one visit.
Commercial
Commercial snow removal in Anchorage covers the full property (lot, sidewalks, and entrances), cleared on a schedule built around when the property actually needs to be open.
Local conditions
A few things about Anchorage specifically inform how service is scheduled.
Anchorage sits on a coastal lowland between the Chugach Mountains and Cook Inlet, giving it a transitional maritime-subarctic climate with heavy seasonal snowfall (~78in/yr) but milder temperatures than Alaska's Interior. The surrounding Chugach foothills, including Eagle River and Girdwood within the municipality, receive substantially more snow than the coastal bowl due to elevation and orographic lift.
We regularly service routes near Seward Highway, Glenn Highway, Minnesota Drive, Northern Lights Boulevard, Tudor Road.
Response time
Response within 1 hour during a storm. Routes are planned from the forecast so crews are already moving once your trigger depth is reached, rather than waiting for a call.
