Services we provide in Urbandale
Local conditions
Conditions vary block by block in Urbandale, which is why routes are planned locally, not generically.
Urbandale is a fully built-out Des Moines suburb straddling the Polk-Dallas county line, and its snowfall totals mirror the capital's since both share the same NWS reporting station. Living History Farms, a large outdoor agricultural museum on the city's western edge, sits along Walnut Creek's floodplain, where low-lying roads see more icing after freeze-thaw cycles than the rest of the city. The Douglas Avenue and 100th Street corridors carry the heaviest commuter volume into central Des Moines.
We regularly service routes near I-80/I-35, US-6 (Douglas Avenue), 100th Street corridor.
Residential
Homeowners across Urbandale get driveway and walkway service dispatched on their own trigger depth, not a fixed daily schedule. Set it once during sign-up, and every qualifying storm through the season is handled the same way.
Commercial
For Urbandale commercial properties, zoned dispatch means the areas that matter most (entrances, fire lanes, ADA routes) clear first, with the rest of the lot following on the same visit.
