Snow Removal in Arlington, VA
Residential and commercial plowing with 24/7 storm dispatch.
Winters in Arlington bring an estimated 15.2" of snow most years, typically November – March. Routes are planned before the first flake falls, so driveways and lots stay usable through the whole storm, not just after it clears.

Local conditions
A few things about Arlington specifically inform how service is scheduled.
Arlington sits directly across the Potomac from Washington, DC and shares Reagan National Airport's official climate data as its own: the 15.2-inch long-term average snowfall figure is the same number cited for the airport itself. The county packs Metro-adjacent high-rise corridors (Rosslyn-Ballston, Crystal City) right up against historic single-family streets, which means very different equipment and timing needs block to block. I-395 and the GW Parkway are the highest-priority corridors given their DC commuter volume.
We regularly service routes near I-395, US-50, I-66, George Washington Memorial Parkway.
Residential
Driveway plowing and sidewalk clearing for Arlington 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 Arlington covers the full property (lot, sidewalks, and entrances), cleared on a schedule built around when the property actually needs to be open.
FAQs
How quickly will a crew arrive after it starts snowing?
Response times depend on your trigger depth and the storm's timing. Routes are planned from the forecast so crews are already moving once your trigger depth is reached.
Do you offer ice management, not just plowing?
Yes: salting, sanding, and de-icing are available on their own or bundled with plowing, matched to surface type and temperature.
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.
Can you handle a multi-day storm in Arlington?
Yes, routes are re-checked and re-dispatched as accumulation continues through multi-day events, with crews rotating on extended storms.
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-395, US-50, I-66 and throughout the surrounding area.
