Snow Removal in Lakewood, CO
Residential and commercial plowing with 24/7 storm dispatch.
If you're in Lakewood, you already know winter means roughly 58" of snow a year, spread across a season that usually runs October – April. We dispatch on that forecast, not on a fixed daily schedule.
Services we provide in Lakewood
Local rules & timing
Lakewood Municipal Code Title 12 (Streets and Sidewalks) requires property owners and occupants to clear abutting sidewalks of snow within 24 hours after snowfall ends; shoveled snow may not be pushed into the street.
Rules can change, so verify current requirements with your municipality.
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.
Local conditions
We route around a handful of local factors specific to Lakewood.
Lakewood sits directly against the hogback foothills west of Denver along the US-285/6th Avenue corridor, so upslope storms wringing out against the Front Range foothills can drop noticeably more snow here (58 in/yr per NOAA 1991-2020 normals) than downtown Denver a few miles east. Neighborhoods like Green Mountain and Bear Creek back up to open space (William Frederick Hayden Park) where wind-driven drifting across unbroken fields is a recurring plow and shoveling challenge distinct from the more built-out neighborhoods near Belmar.
We regularly service routes near Interstate 70, U.S. Route 6 (6th Avenue Freeway), U.S. Route 40 (West Colfax Avenue), U.S. Route 285, Colorado Highway 121 (Wadsworth Blvd).

Residential
For Lakewood 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 Lakewood covers the full property (lot, sidewalks, and entrances), cleared on a schedule built around when the property actually needs to be open.
