Neighborhoods & areas we serve
ZIP codes: 68601, 68602
Residential
For Columbus 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
Columbus commercial lots are serviced on a trigger depth tied to your operating hours, not a fixed daily route, so the property is clear before you open rather than sometime during the day.
Local conditions
A few things about Columbus specifically inform how service is scheduled.
Columbus sits at the confluence of the Loup and Platte rivers where US-30 and US-81 cross, a junction that made it a rail and highway hub and now means winter storms often bring significant commercial-corridor traffic through town during and after snowfall. At just under 26 inches a year, Columbus receives close to the state's east-central average, with January lows in the mid-teens cold enough to keep morning ice on shaded stretches near the river valley.
We regularly service routes near US-30, US-81.
