Front Walkway Snow Removal

What This Service Involves

The front walkway is the most-used route on any Puget Sound property, and the wet, dense snow common west of the Cascades compacts into a slick layer fast. Our crews shovel down to the hardscape and follow with a traction treatment sized to your surface, whether it is stamped concrete, brick, or exposed aggregate. Because lowland temperatures hover near freezing, we watch for the overnight refreeze that turns an afternoon melt into morning glaze. Each visit leaves a clean, walkable band wide enough for two people to pass.

Benefits

Keeps your primary entrance safe for family and guests; protects against slip-and-fall liability at the door; prevents meltwater from refreezing across the path; preserves decorative hardscape from metal-edge scraping

Our Process

1) Inspect the walkway surface and note delicate finishes; 2) Shovel snow to the edges by hand to avoid gouging; 3) Chip and clear any compacted ice near the threshold; 4) Apply a surface-safe deicer to hold the path open

What Affects the Cost

Length and width of the walkway; surface material and how easily it scars; depth and density of the snowfall; number of return visits during a multi-day event; whether steps or a landing connect to the run

Best Time of Year

Front walkways need attention from the first overnight accumulation through the late-winter freeze-thaw cycles that grip the Puget Sound lowlands.
