Storm Monitoring
We watch incoming weather and plan service around the timing and size of the system.
Snow & Ice Management
Central Ohio winters do not arrive on a schedule. We clear drives and walkways for residential and commercial properties, salt for ice, and come back through a storm rather than making a single pass and calling it done.
Through the Storm
A single clearing early in a long storm leaves you snowed in by evening. For significant snowfall we plan return visits so the property stays usable as accumulation continues. Ice is the other half of the job — a cleared surface that refreezes overnight is arguably more dangerous than one still covered in snow, which is why salting matters as much as plowing.
Driveways, sidewalks, entries, and paths cleared — including the walkway routes people actually use to reach the door.
Salt applied to cleared surfaces to manage refreeze, which is the real hazard after an overnight temperature drop.
Homes and business properties alike, including the walkway salting that commercial sites need for safe access.
What's Included
We watch incoming weather and plan service around the timing and size of the system.
First pass timed so the property is usable at the start of the day rather than after the commute.
Follow-up passes through longer storms so accumulation does not undo the first clearing.
Paths, steps, and entries cleared, not just the driveway — access to the door matters most.
Salting on cleared surfaces to manage ice and overnight refreeze.
We know what is under the snow because in many cases we built it, and we work accordingly.
How It Goes
We walk the property, agree what gets cleared and salted, and note obstacles while the ground is still visible.
Incoming weather monitored so service is planned around timing and expected accumulation.
Drives, walkways, and entries cleared, with the route planned so snow is not piled where it blocks access.
Salt applied to cleared surfaces to manage ice and refreeze.
Additional visits through longer storms so the property stays usable as snow continues.
We hired Michael and the team at Emerald Crest Landscaping last winter when one of the big storms was coming in. They were there bright (dark?) and early to get the first pass at the snow, and then came again later to get everything cleared away. They came back and make sure the job was done even after issues with their equipment. Thanks Emerald Crest for sticking with it.

Winter FAQ
Yes. Business properties are regular winter work for us, including walkway clearing and salting where safe public access is the priority.
As many as the storm requires. A single pass at the start of a long snowfall leaves you stuck by evening, so return visits are planned for significant accumulation.
Yes. Salting is applied to cleared surfaces to manage ice and overnight refreeze — a cleared surface that ices over is more dangerous than uncleared snow.
It is strongly recommended. Setting up in advance means we have walked the property, know where obstacles and hardscape are, and can service you when a storm actually arrives.
We work carefully around hardscape and are familiar with these properties — in many cases we installed the patio or walkway ourselves and know exactly what is under the snow.
