Serving Anchorage

Winter Services

Highmark Services handles the winter work that goes beyond clearing a driveway. Sanding, road and berm maintenance, snow hauling, winter grading, ice rink clearing, and trail grooming. If it involves moving, leveling, or treating snow and ice on a property that has to stay usable all season, that is the part we take care of.

Snow removal is only the first step. What determines whether a property stays safe and passable through March is what happens to the snow after it’s been moved, and whether the surface underneath it gets treated before it turns to ice.

Sanding

Application of sand for traction on driveways, private roads, and commercial lots when ice makes stopping and climbing unreliable. Sanding is timed to conditions and temperature rather than run on a blanket schedule, because sand laid at the wrong moment blows off or glazes over. Steep driveway or large commercial lot, we’re ready on the days that actually call for it.

Traction problems concentrate at the same handful of spots on a property, and those are the spots that get treated first.

Road Maintenance & Snow Berm Removal

Maintenance of private roads, subdivisions, and long driveways, including removal of the packed snow ridges left along shoulders after plowing. Berms compact and freeze in place, narrowing a road week after week until it’s running one lane. We break them loose and relocate the material, blowing it back off the shoulder or hauling it out when there’s nowhere left to put it.

Berms handled while the snow is still loose cost a fraction of what they cost once they’ve frozen through.

Snow Hauling

Loading and hauling snow off site when there’s no room left to store it. Once berms are shoulder high and the ditches are buried, plowing has nowhere to push, and the only way to recover the space is to remove the snow entirely.

Snow hauling buys back the space that a full season of plowing has taken away.

Ice Rink Clearing

Clearing snow from backyard and community ice rinks without leaving piles around the boards. Snow gets moved off the surface and away from the rink entirely, so the sheet stays open and the piles don’t melt back onto it during a warm spell.

A rink cleared quickly after each snowfall stays skateable. One left to compact under boot traffic has to be resurfaced.

Trail Grooming

Grooming for ski, fat-bike, and walking trails. Snow gets compacted and leveled into a consistent surface, with track setting for skiing where it’s wanted, so the trail is usable instead of a set of postholes after the first group walks it.

A groomed trail holds its surface through repeated use. An ungroomed one gets worse with every person who walks it.
