Snow Removal in Minneapolis, MN
Residential and commercial plowing with 24/7 storm dispatch.
Snow is a regular part of the season in Minneapolis, averaging an estimated 51.2" a year between November – April. Our dispatch model is built around that reality: forecast-driven routes, not next-day cleanup.
Services we provide in Minneapolis
Local conditions
A few things about Minneapolis specifically inform how service is scheduled.
Minneapolis sits in the path of frequent Alberta clipper systems that move through quickly but often combine with brutal wind chills. Because the city is inland and away from any large lake's moderating influence, its snow totals are driven mostly by clipper systems and occasional larger low-pressure storms tracking up from the Plains. The city's formal multi-day 'Snow Emergency' parking and plowing system reflects how seriously repeated moderate snowfalls accumulate over a typical winter.
We regularly service routes near I-35W, I-94, I-394, MN-62 (Crosstown).
Local rules & timing
Minneapolis ordinance requires property owners to clear sidewalks within 24 hours after snowfall for houses and duplexes (4 daytime hours for other properties), and the city declares formal 'Snow Emergencies' with a 3-day, street-specific parking ban enforced by ticketing and towing.
Rules can change, so verify current requirements with your municipality.

Response time
Response within 1 hour during a storm. Response times in Minneapolis are the same for a 2 a.m. storm as a 2 p.m. one; dispatch doesn't wait for daylight.
Residential
Driveway plowing and sidewalk clearing for Minneapolis 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
Commercial snow removal in Minneapolis covers the full property (lot, sidewalks, and entrances), cleared on a schedule built around when the property actually needs to be open.
FAQs
What areas of Minneapolis do you cover?
Coverage includes Uptown, Northeast (Nordeast), North Loop, Downtown, and the surrounding area. Check the neighborhoods list on this page or contact us to confirm your specific address.
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.
Will plowing damage my driveway or landscaping?
Every property is scouted before the season to mark edges, drainage, and hardscaping, and blades are set to avoid gouging asphalt or concrete.
Do you serve properties near major highways or main roads?
Yes, we regularly service properties near I-35W, I-94, I-394 and throughout the surrounding area.
Can I request one-time service instead of a season-long contract?
Yes, per-push service doesn't require a season commitment. A seasonal contract is also available if you'd rather lock in a flat rate for the winter.
How quickly will a crew arrive after it starts snowing?
Minnesota law (Minn. Stat. 160.2715 and related statutes) makes it a misdemeanor to plow, blow, or shovel snow from private property onto a public street. Minneapolis and Saint Paul both operate formal 'Snow Emergency' systems with multi-day, street-specific, tow-enforced parking restrictions, and both cities require sidewalks to be cleared within 24 hours of snowfall ending. Routes are planned from the forecast so crews are already moving once your trigger depth is reached.
