Who we are
Our SIMA-trained leads and insured operators use compact equipment and rubber edges to protect decorative city surfaces while keeping friction high.
Before winter advisories, we walk your site, mark drains, map priority doors, and document hazards so nothing slows service when alerts hit.
Reports with timestamps and photos arrive automatically after each service to satisfy risk, facilities, and tenant needs.
Services tailored to city properties
Your entrances, ADA paths, and drive lanes stay clear with timed passes that respect peak foot and vehicle traffic.
- Lot and lane plowing: Curbs, ramps, alleys, garage entrances, and loading docks with edge detailing and pile control.
- Pretreat and de-ice: Brine pretreats and eco melt tuned to temps and humidity to prevent bond and refreeze.
- Sidewalk precision: Hand crews and compact units for storefronts, crosswalks, bus stops, and shaded walks.
- Snow relocation: Planned piles that preserve visibility and parking; optional hauling when capacity is tight.
- Storm intelligence: Live monitoring with proactive alerts when thresholds trigger deployment.
Equipment staged inside the city

Property Manager, Mixed-UseFAQ
Do you pretreat before freezing rain? Yes, brine pretreatments go down when dew points and temps show refreeze risk.
Can you haul snow off-site? Hauling is scheduled during low-traffic windows with backup gear staged.
How fast is dispatch? Crews are staged inside Portland, OR; alerts trigger deployment within minutes.
Deep-dive on keeping Portland, OR city sites open
Your property maps include photos of hazards, drainage, and sensitive finishes, giving crews exact guidance when storms hit.
Calibration charts in every truck keep spread rates consistent, protecting assets while hitting friction targets.
Radar, pavement sensors, and on-the-ground observations combine so we pivot from plowing to melting at the right moment.
If security spots a slick patch, they message our hotline and the nearest crew pivots for a fast correction.
Medical sites get redundancy with shadow crews during critical appointment blocks to protect patient access.
Parking and sight lines remain strong because we pre-plan pile zones away from hydrants, cameras, and signage; if capacity shrinks, we schedule off-peak hauling.
Sustainability is baked in: brine pretreats lower total salt use while keeping surfaces safe; logs capture product type, rate, and timing.
Seasonal clients receive mid-winter audits to tweak melt recipes, pile plans, and signage placement.
Because city microclimates shift fast, we carry alternate melt products to swap instantly, preventing slick spots on shaded pavers or breezeways.
Documentation closes every loop: timestamps, route logs, treatment volumes, and photo evidence are packaged for risk, facilities, and legal stakeholders.
City-ready checklist we run every storm
Pre-alert: Weather desk issues a heads-up with forecast details, trigger expectations, and planned pretreat windows so you know what to expect.
Eco melt inventory is verified and balanced to match temps, humidity, and surface type.
Photos capture condition snapshots mid-storm for real-time visibility.
We check drains and slope points to avoid slush refreezing into ridges.
Post-storm: Final sweep clears edges, hydrants, and signage sight lines; piles are reshaped, and hazard cones are collected.
