The summer months always seem too short, and Autumn always ends up being more of a fleeting glimpse than anything else. Before we know it, winter is knocking at our front door, and we have to contend with inclement weather, snow, ice, short, gray days, and long, dark, chilling nights. “C’est la vie!” one could say.
Just as with any other season, the wintertime brings with it a new series of daily maintenance tasks that we must contend with on our commercial properties. For those of us who own or manage commercial properties, small box stores, restaurant franchises, pharmacies, bank buildings, pet supply stores, hair salons, dental clinics, veterinary practices, etc., we need to consider the consistent maintenance of keeping our driveways, parking lots, entryways, and sidewalks clear of snow and ice.
Most commercial property business owners hire a snow removal or snow plow service to come buzz through their property once every other day or so, hastily plowing a few parking spaces clear and perhaps clearing a way in and out of the commercial lot.
But there is so much more that should be done, not only for the aesthetic appeal of a commercial location, but for the safety of one’s customers too. Businesses already seem to experience a drop in their sales in the wintertime, simply due to the nature of the season. Why disillusion your customers from coming to see you in the wintertime by not taking great care of your snow and ice removal?
One’s overall business almost always slows down in the winter time, much of which can be attributed to cold weather, snow, ice, and a general desire to stay inside cuddled around a fireplace with a few movies and some cocoa. But people have to get out and about from time to time, and wouldn’t you rather your customers want to come to your business in the winter, as opposed to being turned away by a messy parking lot, sidewalk, and entryway?
An expertly cared for business in the winter months is one that not only has a beautifully plowed and deiced parking lot, but one which offers a clear path up the sidewalk, to the entryway, and into the building itself. You want your customers to make it out of their vehicles, across your parking lot, onto and across the sidewalk, and into and through the entryway without slipping, falling, tripping, or even having a “close call.” This requires snow plow services and sidewalk snow removal.
The last thing any business owner wants is to have an unappealing commercial lot, covered in snow, dripping with ice, or muddied in slush. Our customizable driveway snow removal and sidewalk snow removal service plans allow for you to pick and choose your level of service, the frequency of service, and to schedule your service around the weather patterns. We strongly encourage our customers to make full use of our sidewalk snow removal services, as the sidewalks and entryways leading to your business will receive the most foot traffic from your customers and employees both.

When people move to the Middle South (Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, northern Georgia, northern Alabama, northern Mississippi, North Carolina, Arkansas, western Virginia, southern West Virginia, etc.) they don’t always expect to deal with inclement winter weather. But this is a common misconception. It’s not until you get into the deep South that the winter months become merely a mild, cool season.
With that in mind, business owners often forget that snow removal is still needed. When getting ready to sign up for snow removal, business owners will almost certainly have questions about such services.
