How Can We Help?
What is included in a snow removal service for homeowners?
We clear the driveway, open primary access areas, and remove the berm the municipal plow leaves across your apron. Residential driveways are blown rather than plowed, so the snow gets thrown clear instead of piled at the end of the driveway or in the yard. Learn more about our residential snow removal services.
What's the difference between snow blowing and snow plowing?
Plowing pushes snow to the side. Blowing throws it clear. On a commercial lot there’s room to push and stack, so plowing is the right tool. On a residential driveway, plowing creates a berm across the entrance and a pile in the yard that sits there until breakup. We switched to tractor-mounted blowers in 2019 for exactly that reason.
When should you sign up for snow removal in Anchorage?
Before the first snowfall, not after. Anchorage typically sees first snow by mid-October, and route capacity fills before that. Properties already on the route get served first once the season starts, so signing on in November means competing for whatever room is left.
How fast can snow removal be dispatched after a major storm?
Properties on a seasonal route are cleared on a defined trigger depth, which means the work starts without anyone having to call. One-off calls after a storm are handled as capacity allows, and after a heavy snowfall that capacity is already committed to route customers.
What factors affect response times during peak season?
Storm size, snow density, and how many properties are on the route ahead of you. A wet, heavy snowfall takes longer per property than a dry one. Driveway length, grade, and how much room there is to throw or stack the snow all matter too. This is the practical argument for a seasonal contract over calling storm by storm.
Do you sand as well as clear snow?
Yes. Sanding is a separate service for traction on steep driveways, private roads, and commercial lots once surfaces glaze over. Clearing snow off a driveway doesn’t do much good if what’s underneath it is ice.
Do you service private roads and subdivisions?
Yes. Private roads are the property owner’s responsibility, not the Municipality’s. We contract with subdivisions, road associations, and individual owners for plowing, berm removal, sanding, and snow hauling.
How often should an Anchorage lawn be mowed?
Weekly through the peak of the growing season. Anchorage lawns grow fast under long summer daylight, and a lawn that gets cut every other week ends up losing too much blade at once, which stresses the grass and leaves it looking scalped. Learn more about our lawn services.
When does the mowing season start and end in Anchorage?
Why does my lawn need to be swept or raked before the first mow?
What is thatching, and does my lawn need it?
Thatch is the layer of dead grass and organic material that builds up between the soil and the living blades. A thin layer is normal. A thick one blocks water and fertilizer from reaching the roots. If your lawn feels spongy underfoot or water pools on it instead of soaking in, it likely needs thatching.
When should fertilizer and weed control be applied?
Early in the season, once growth starts, so the lawn gets the benefit for the whole short summer rather than the tail end of it. Anchorage’s growing window is narrow enough that late application wastes most of the value.
Do you handle commercial properties as well as residential?
Yes. Mowing, trimming, weed control, and property cleanup for both. Commercial properties are typically scheduled on a set weekly rotation.
Why does my lawn look worse in spring than it did in fall?
Snow mold, compacted turf, and winter sand ground into the grass. Most of it recovers with a proper cleanup, raking, and the first fertilizer application. What doesn’t recover is usually a drainage problem, not a grass problem.
