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.
Residential
Driveway plowing and sidewalk clearing for Decatur homeowners, with a trigger depth you set once. The same crew learns your property's layout over the season, so plowing follows the same pattern every storm: no re-explaining where the edges are or where to pile snow.
Commercial
Parking lot plowing, sidewalk clearing, and ice control for Decatur properties that can't afford downtime. Lots are zoned so drive lanes and entrances clear first, then the rest of the lot, on a trigger depth tied to your operating hours.
Local rules & timing
Decatur City Code Chapter 34, §11 (Traffic and Parking): prohibits depositing snow from a private drive or parking lot onto a public street.
Rules can change, so verify current requirements with your municipality.
