Local conditions
A few things about Lakewood specifically inform how service is scheduled.
Lakewood is an immediate Lake Erie shoreline suburb bordering Cleveland's west side, and as one of the most densely populated cities in Ohio, it has one of the strictest sidewalk-clearing ordinances in the state given how much foot and transit traffic depends on cleared walks along Detroit Avenue and Clifton Boulevard.
We regularly service routes near I-90, Detroit Avenue, Clifton Boulevard, Lake Road, Cleveland Memorial Shoreway.
Residential
Lakewood homeowners set a trigger depth once at sign-up, and every storm that reaches it gets serviced the same way for the rest of the season. Per-push or seasonal billing is available depending on how you'd rather budget.
Commercial
Lakewood 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.
FAQs
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.
Is Lakewood prone to ice dams or roof snow load issues?
Lakewood is an immediate Lake Erie shoreline suburb bordering Cleveland's west side, and as one of the most densely populated cities in Ohio, it has one of the strictest sidewalk-clearing ordinances in the state given how much foot and transit traffic depends on cleared walks along Detroit Avenue and Clifton Boulevard. Ask about roof snow removal or ice dam service if that's a recurring issue at your property.
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.
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.
