Sidewalk & Walkway Clearing
Available for both residential and commercial properties.
Sidewalks and walkways get missed by plow trucks and become the most common source of slip-and-fall injuries during winter. This service covers the paths a truck can't clear: front walks, building entrances, breezeways, and pedestrian routes across a property. Crews clear to bare pavement where conditions allow, not just a rough path through the snow, and follow with salt or ice melt where refreeze is likely.
For residential customers this usually means the walk from the driveway to the front door and any path to a side or back entrance. For commercial and multi-family properties it covers the full pedestrian network (building entrances, breezeways, courtyards, and connecting paths between buildings), cleared on the same trigger-depth schedule as the parking lot or driveway so pedestrians aren't left navigating snow after vehicles already have a clear lot.
Equipment is matched to the path: walk-behind snow blowers for wider sidewalks, hand shoveling for tight spots, stairs, and areas near landscaping where a blower risks throwing debris. Every path is scouted in advance so crews know where uneven pavement, steps, or drainage grates are before the first snow: the same damage-aware approach used for driveways and lots.

FAQs
Do you clear all the way to bare pavement?
Yes, where conditions allow: the goal is a walkable surface, not just a path pushed through the snow, followed by salt where refreeze is likely.
Can this be added to an existing plowing contract?
Yes, sidewalk clearing is commonly bundled with driveway or lot plowing so the whole property is cleared on the same schedule.
Do you clear stairs and building entrances?
Yes, stairs and entrances are typically hand-shoveled for control and to avoid blower debris near landscaping or glass entries.
How does this help with slip-and-fall liability?
Documented, scheduled sidewalk clearing is one of the clearest ways a commercial property can show due diligence if a winter slip-and-fall claim comes up.
Is this available without a plowing contract?
Yes, standalone sidewalk service is available, though it's commonly bundled with driveway or lot plowing.
How do you handle narrow or oddly shaped walkways?
Paths are scouted in advance and matched to the right equipment (blower, shovel, or a combination) based on width and obstacles.
