Snow Removal Services That Keep You Safe All Winter

Seasonal contracts provide a fixed price for the entire winter season, billed in monthly installments from November through April. Every storm is covered regardless of frequency. Per-push pricing charges per visit based on accumulation depth. Seasonal contracts offer budget predictability and priority routing, while per-push works for customers who prefer pay-as-you-go. In heavy snow years, seasonal contract holders save significantly compared to per-push customers.

We provide snow removal services throughout Southeastern Massachusetts, including the South Shore, Plymouth County, and Cape Cod. Our service area covers towns from Braintree and Weymouth south through Plymouth, Marshfield, Duxbury, Kingston, and onto the Cape. Route efficiency matters for reliable storm response, so we focus on areas where we can guarantee timely service. Contact us to confirm coverage for your specific location.

We recommend signing up by early November at the latest. Route capacity is limited, and we accept customers on a first-come, first-served basis. Once our routes are full, we stop accepting new accounts for the season to ensure we can provide reliable service to existing customers. The best time to contact us is September or October, before the first storm forecast creates a rush of calls.

Yes. Contrast Landscape carries comprehensive general liability insurance and commercial auto insurance that specifically covers snow and ice removal operations. We also carry workers' compensation coverage for all employees. Certificates of insurance are provided to commercial clients upon request and are included with all commercial contracts. Our insurance meets or exceeds the requirements of major property management companies and commercial property owners.

Our fleet includes truck-mounted commercial plows for driveways and parking lots, skid steers with box pushers for tight commercial spaces and loading docks, wheel loaders for high-volume stacking and hauling operations, commercial snow blowers for walkways and sidewalks, and spreader trucks for salt and ice melt application. All vehicles carry GPS tracking for service documentation. We maintain backup equipment so breakdowns never delay service.

We use a combination of materials selected for each application. Rock salt is used on open pavement areas where cost efficiency matters. Calcium chloride is used near landscaping, on concrete surfaces, and in temperatures below fifteen degrees Fahrenheit where rock salt loses effectiveness. For commercial pretreatment, we use liquid sodium chloride brine applied before storms to prevent ice bonding. Material selection is based on surface type, temperature, and proximity to vegetation.

We take property damage seriously and work to prevent it through pre-season property assessments, marking of obstacles, and experienced operators. If damage occurs, report it as soon as possible. We document every claim, assess the damage, and repair it at our expense. Because we also provide landscaping and hardscaping services, we have the capability to repair lawn edges, replace sod, reset pavers, or fix other damage directly rather than writing checks and walking away.

For overnight storms, we target completion before the typical morning commute window. Exact timing depends on your position on the route, storm intensity, and accumulation rate. During heavy storms, we make multiple passes throughout the event. Seasonal contract holders receive priority routing and are serviced before per-push customers. We cannot guarantee a specific time because storm conditions vary, but the goal is always to have your driveway clear before you need to leave.

We offer complete winter property care including driveway plowing, walkway shoveling, step clearing, and ice melt application. Services are bundled or available individually based on your needs. Most residential customers choose the full package, which includes driveway plowing plus walkway and step clearing with ice melt treatment. Walk paths are defined during your pre-season assessment so our crews know exactly what to clear every visit.

Property protection starts with our pre-season walkthrough, where we document mailbox positions, lawn edges, irrigation heads, and any other features near the plow path. We mark obstacles with reflective stakes before the first storm. Our operators use this property-specific information to avoid damage. Since we also handle landscaping, we already know many properties intimately. If damage does occur, we repair it in spring at no charge.

Snow placement is discussed during your pre-season property assessment. We identify the best locations based on your driveway layout, lawn areas, and drainage patterns. Typically, snow is stacked to one or both sides of the driveway in areas where spring melt will drain away from your foundation. We avoid stacking against the garage door, over walkways, or in areas that would block sightlines at the street. If you have specific preferences, we note them in your property file.

Yes. We provide roof snow raking to prevent ice dams and reduce structural snow load. Using telescoping roof rakes, our crews remove snow from the lower six to eight feet of your roofline while standing safely on the ground. This is the critical zone where ice dams form. Roof raking is available as an add-on service and is particularly recommended after heavy storms or during extended cold periods when multiple storms build dangerous accumulation.

Every service vehicle carries GPS tracking that records location, time on-site, and service duration for every visit to your property. This creates an objective, verifiable record that serves as evidence in slip-and-fall litigation. When an injury claim is filed, attorneys ask when the property was last serviced. GPS records provide a defensible, time-stamped answer. We provide service verification reports on request, correlating our service records with weather data for comprehensive liability documentation.

Zero-tolerance means any snow or ice accumulation triggers an immediate response. There is no trigger depth. Service begins at the first sign of accumulation and continues throughout the storm event. This level of service requires 24/7 weather monitoring, pretreatment capability, and crew depth for shift rotation during extended storms. Zero-tolerance is standard for medical facilities, retail centers, and properties where any accumulation creates unacceptable liability risk.

Yes. We work with property management companies that need consistent service across multiple locations. Each property receives its own service scope and trigger depth tailored to its specific requirements. You get one point of contact, consolidated billing, and unified service reporting across your entire portfolio. Volume pricing applies to multi-property accounts, and we can accommodate properties with different service levels within the same contract.

ADA-compliant walkway maintenance is included in every commercial snow removal contract. Our hand crews clear all pedestrian pathways, handicap ramps, building entrances, emergency exits, and accessible routes to bare pavement. We clear and treat these areas with the same priority as parking lot plowing because this is where the majority of commercial slip-and-fall claims originate. Surface treatments are applied after every clearing to prevent refreeze and maintain safe walking conditions.

Anti-icing pretreatment involves applying liquid brine to pavement surfaces twelve to twenty-four hours before an anticipated storm. The brine prevents ice from bonding to the pavement, making post-storm clearing faster and more effective while reducing total salt usage by thirty to fifty percent over the season. Pretreatment is recommended for all zero-tolerance commercial accounts and any property where rapid clearance is critical. It requires weather monitoring capability and precise timing, which is why many operators do not offer it.
