Our Snow Removal Services
Residential Snow Plowing
We offer reliable snow plowing for residential properties, including driveways, walkways, and entrances. Our team clears snow efficiently after each storm and checks for refreeze zones to ensure continued safety. Every visit is designed to restore access quickly and keep your home functional during challenging winter weather conditions.
Commercial Snow Management
Our commercial snow removal services are tailored to businesses, office complexes, and community associations. We clear parking lots, loading zones, and building access points for consistent operations. With proactive planning and rapid response times, we ensure your commercial property remains open, safe, and compliant during the winter season.
Sidewalk & Pathway Clearing
We hand-clear sidewalks, paths, and building entrances using shovels and blowers for precision. This service ensures compliance with accessibility guidelines and safety regulations. Regular clearing reduces the risk of slips and keeps walking routes safe for family members, employees, and guests, regardless of snow accumulation or ice buildup.
De-Icing & Salt Application
We apply premium salt and environmentally friendly de-icers to prevent icy conditions before they form. This treatment is key during freeze-thaw cycles and after snow removal. It keeps surfaces safer, reduces liability risks, and prevents slip hazards on driveways, walkways, patios, and other high-traffic hardscapes.
Snow Hauling & Stacking
When snow accumulation becomes excessive, we relocate or remove it entirely. Snow is either stacked in designated low-traffic zones or hauled off-site as needed. This service helps preserve parking access, prevent melting runoff issues, and eliminate visibility obstructions on both residential and commercial properties.
Emergency Snow Services
Unexpected storms or urgent situations require fast action. Our emergency response service covers major snowfalls, blocked access, or post-storm cleanups. We prioritize medical access routes, event-driven clearance needs, and time-sensitive openings, making sure you’re never stuck in or shut down due to winter weather emergencies.
Benefits of Our Snow Removal Service
Timely Response
We track weather conditions continuously and dispatch our crews as soon as snow begins accumulating. Early action prevents dangerous buildup, maintains clear access, and ensures you’re not caught off guard, keeping your home or business safe and fully operational throughout every winter storm.
Enhanced Safety
Snow-packed driveways and icy walkways create significant hazards. Our service prioritizes pedestrian and vehicle safety by applying traction-enhancing methods and targeted de-icing. This reduces slip-and-fall accidents, providing a safer environment for families, customers, employees, and visitors in both residential and commercial settings.
Professional Equipment
We use advanced commercial-grade snow plows, snow blowers, and salt spreaders designed for efficiency and precision. With the right tools and trained operators, we’re able to handle heavy snowfalls, tight spaces, and high-traffic areas without compromising speed, effectiveness, or the condition of your property.
Flexible Scheduling
Whether you need one-time clearing, storm-specific service, or ongoing seasonal coverage, we offer scheduling options to suit your lifestyle or business needs. You can rely on us for prompt service that fits your timeline, property type, and frequency preferences throughout the snow season.
Damage Prevention
Snow removal done wrong can lead to scratched surfaces, lawn damage, or broken hardscape features. Our trained professionals use techniques that protect your pavement, landscaping, and structures, ensuring every clearing job maintains the integrity of your property without sacrificing thoroughness.
Stress-Free Winters
Let us handle the snow so you don’t have to. With our team on your side, you’ll avoid last-minute scrambling, backbreaking shoveling, and scheduling headaches, allowing you to enjoy a safer, cleaner, and more relaxed winter season at home or at work.

Frequently Asked Questions
How early do you start snow removal during a storm?
We typically begin clearing once snow accumulation reaches 1–2 inches. Our team monitors local forecasts and radar in real time to ensure a fast response. Early removal helps prevent ice buildup, maintains safe access, and minimizes disruption for both homeowners and commercial property managers.
Do you offer seasonal snow removal contracts?
Yes, we offer comprehensive seasonal contracts for residential and commercial clients. These plans include automatic snow clearing throughout winter, from November to March, based on agreed snow depth triggers. Contracts ensure priority service, better value, and peace of mind all season long, regardless of how much snow occurs.
What happens if it snows again after you clear my driveway?
If snow falls again after your initial clearing, we’ll return based on your service type. For contract clients, follow-ups are included automatically. One-time service clients can request an additional visit for a fee. We’re committed to keeping your property clear, regardless of changing weather conditions.
Can you help with ice buildup on walkways?
Absolutely. We apply de-icing materials like salt or eco-friendly agents to prevent and control ice. This is essential after freeze-thaw cycles or freezing rain. Our ice management services improve traction, reduce slip-and-fall risks, and keep entryways and walkways safe throughout the winter season.
What areas do you clear during a residential snow removal service?
Standard residential service includes driveways, front walkways, and sidewalks. Additional areas like porches, back patios, garage entrances, or mailbox paths can be added upon request. We customize snow removal plans based on your layout and preferences to ensure full access and winter safety around your property.
Do you offer emergency snow removal services?
Yes, we provide emergency snow removal for last-minute or unexpected weather events. Whether it's a blocked driveway before work, a business opening delayed by snow, or clearing after a sudden storm, our team responds quickly with the right equipment to restore accessibility and safety.
Will snow plowing damage my pavement or landscaping?
No. We use commercial-grade plows, rubber-edge blades, and proper clearance techniques to avoid surface damage. Before snow season, we mark sensitive features like curbs, garden beds, and hardscape edges. Our team takes extra care to protect your pavement, turf, and outdoor structures from unintended damage.
How do I sign up for recurring snow removal services?
Getting started is easy. Contact us to schedule a consultation. We’ll evaluate your property, review your preferences, and provide a detailed quote. Once approved, we’ll create a seasonal service agreement that outlines snowfall thresholds, timing, and service areas for consistent snow removal all winter.

Testimonials
We had spoken to several people about quotes for new sod and Brandon from You Betcha Outdoor Services was extremely responsive and gave us a very fair price. Brandon gave us timeline and not only met it but was done earlier than quoted. The job was done professionally and we couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend You Betcha Outdoor Services and will be using them again for our next job.
David O.
Brandon and his team were very helpful in designing and follow through on my entire project. Very happy with my annual garden refresh, new steppers installed and a small water feature to finish out our existing patio. He was even able to make a last minute addition of 20 trees to our empty extra lot. Very respectful crew. My family and I really appreciate that.
