Snow Removal in Buffalo, WY
Residential and commercial plowing with 24/7 storm dispatch.
Winters in Buffalo bring an estimated 42.7" of snow most years, typically October – April. Routes are planned before the first flake falls, so driveways and lots stay usable through the whole storm, not just after it clears.
Services we provide in Buffalo
Response time
Response within 1 hour during a storm. That response time applies day or night; storms don't wait for business hours, and neither do we.
Local rules & timing
Buffalo Municipal Code Chapter 20 (Streets and Sidewalks) requires property owners, agents, or occupants to remove snow, slush, and ice from sidewalks fronting their property promptly after a snowfall, and prohibits depositing snow from driveways or parking lots onto the public right-of-way.
Rules can change, so verify current requirements with your municipality.
Local conditions
A few things about Buffalo specifically inform how service is scheduled.
Buffalo sits where I-90 and I-25 meet at the base of the Bighorn Mountains, and US-16 climbing west out of town toward Powder River Pass is one of Wyoming's more snow-prone mountain routes, closing seasonally most winters. In-town Buffalo itself sees more moderate snowfall than the pass above it, but the city's position at a major interstate junction means winter road conditions here affect a wide swath of regional truck and travel traffic.
We regularly service routes near I-90, I-25, US-16.

Residential
Driveway plowing and sidewalk clearing for Buffalo 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
Buffalo 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
Can you handle a multi-day storm in Buffalo?
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.
How quickly will a crew arrive after it starts snowing?
The Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) runs a Snowplow Priority Plan with four route classes (high volume, medium volume, low volume, closed), prioritizing interstates and school-bus routes; crews are often redeployed from lightly-affected areas to the hardest-hit routes during a storm. WYDOT's two-level chain law can require commercial vehicles to chain two drive wheels (Level 1) or all vehicles to use chains/traction devices (Level 2) on designated highway segments during severe conditions. Routes are planned from the forecast so crews are already moving once your trigger depth is reached.
What areas of Buffalo do you cover?
Coverage includes Downtown Buffalo Historic District, Clear Creek corridor, and the surrounding area. Check the neighborhoods list on this page or contact us to confirm your specific address.
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.
