Residential
Residential service in Duluth covers the driveway and connecting walkways, with a trigger depth you set once and equipment matched to your property: a straight-blade truck for a standard driveway, or smaller equipment for tight access.

Local conditions
Here's what actually affects plowing and ice control in Duluth.
Duluth has the highest average annual snowfall of any sizeable city in Minnesota, driven by its hillside position above Lake Superior. When storms track south or east of the city, easterly and northeasterly flow off the lake produces upslope lake-effect snow bands that can dump a foot or more on Duluth's hillside while areas 50 miles inland get far less.
We regularly service routes near I-35, US-53, US-2, MN-23.
Local rules & timing
Duluth City Ordinance requires property owners to clear abutting public sidewalks of snow and ice within 24 hours of a snowfall; the city inspects on complaint and will clear and bill owners who don't comply.
Rules can change, so verify current requirements with your municipality.
FAQs
Do I need to sign a contract?
No: per-push service is available without a season-long commitment, though a seasonal contract is available if you'd rather lock in a flat rate.

Yes: salting, sanding, and de-icing are available on their own or bundled with plowing, matched to surface type and temperature.
Do you plow driveways in Duluth?
Yes, residential driveway plowing is available throughout Duluth and the rest of St. Louis County. Set a trigger depth once and we dispatch on every qualifying storm.
Do you offer commercial and HOA snow removal in Duluth?
Yes: parking lots, sidewalks, and ice control for commercial, HOA, and municipal properties in Duluth, alongside residential service.
Is Duluth prone to ice dams or roof snow load issues?
Duluth has the highest average annual snowfall of any sizeable city in Minnesota, driven by its hillside position above Lake Superior. When storms track south or east of the city, easterly and northeasterly flow off the lake produces upslope lake-effect snow bands that can dump a foot or more on Duluth's hillside while areas 50 miles inland get far less. Ask about roof snow removal or ice dam service if that's a recurring issue at your property.
What trigger depth do you plow at?
Most customers set a 2-inch trigger, meaning we plow once 2 inches has accumulated and again as needed through the storm. You can set a different trigger when you sign up.
