Snow Containment

What This Service Involves

Snow containment is about planning where snow goes before the first storm rather than reacting after piles are already in the way. Our crews establish designated containment zones on your property and consistently direct plowed snow into them all season. In the Puget Sound climate this planning ensures meltwater flows to catch basins instead of pooling and refreezing across drive lanes. Containment keeps traffic areas, fire lanes, and entrances predictably clear no matter how many storms arrive.

Benefits

Keeps snow out of traffic and access areas; directs meltwater to intended drainage; maintains clear fire lanes and entrances; brings predictability to a whole season of storms

Our Process

1) Map the site and pick containment zones; 2) Direct all plowed snow into those zones; 3) Route meltwater toward catch basins; 4) Maintain containment across every storm

What Affects the Cost

Site size and layout complexity; number of containment zones needed; drainage design and catch-basin locations; equipment time to maintain zones; storm frequency over the season

Best Time of Year

Snow containment is planned before winter and maintained through every storm so a property stays predictably clear all season.
