Snow Removal in Spearfish, SD
Residential and commercial plowing with 24/7 storm dispatch.

Services we provide in Spearfish
Residential
Spearfish 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
Parking lot plowing, sidewalk clearing, and ice control for Spearfish properties that can't afford downtime. Lots are zoned so drive lanes and entrances clear first, then the rest of the lot, on a trigger depth tied to your operating hours.
Local rules & timing
Spearfish City Code Sec. 14-38 prohibits interfering with or obstructing city snow removal operations; Chapter 14 (Streets, Sidewalks and Other Public Places) requires property owners to keep abutting sidewalks clear of snow and ice edge-to-edge.
Rules can change, so verify current requirements with your municipality.
Local conditions
Local conditions in Spearfish shape how we route crews and time dispatch.
Spearfish sits at the mouth of Spearfish Canyon in the northern Black Hills, where the city itself sees noticeably less snow than the canyon and higher terrain just a few miles south, since accumulation increases quickly with elevation along US-14A. The city holds the world record for fastest recorded temperature swing, a 49°F rise in two minutes on January 22, 1943, a reminder of how abruptly Chinook winds can strip snow cover here. As home to Black Hills State University, keeping the campus core and the I-90 interchange clear is a seasonal priority.
We regularly service routes near I-90, US-14A (Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway), US-85.
Response time
Response within 1 hour during a storm. Routes are planned from the forecast so crews are already moving once your trigger depth is reached, rather than waiting for a call.
