Snow Plowing

From November to March—or from the first snowfall of the season—VS Landscape Group provides 24/7 snow plowing services to ensure your commercial property remains clear and safe for employees, customers, and visitors. 

In the event of a daytime snowstorm, our team can make multiple site visits to ensure sidewalks, parking lots, and entranceways are cleared promptly, minimizing disruptions to your operations.

We prioritize safety and efficiency, ensuring that all access points—entrances, roadways, and parking lots—remain open and accessible even during heavy snowfall. 

Snow Plowing Guidelines

  • Sidewalks will be cleared once snowfall accumulates to 2 cm.
  • Plowing of the entire property will begin when snow accumulation reaches 4 cm or more.

After speaking with the client, we tailor fit solutions to their needs on a site by site basis.

Salting and Ice Prevention

VS Landscape Group takes a proactive approach to salting and ice control. During regular site patrols, our staff will apply salt as needed to prevent dangerous ice buildup.  

We ensure that your property is treated after each snow plow service and any time weather conditions warrant further action to prevent ice formation. 

Site Patrol

Our clients trust VS Landscape Group for the peace of mind we provide through our regular site patrols. As part of our snow and ice control services, our staff will routinely inspect your property to prevent the buildup of snow and ice that could create hazardous driving or walking conditions.

Weather Monitoring

We take weather monitoring seriously. As part of our efficient snow and ice management process, VS Landscape Group operates a 24/7 weather monitoring system that keeps us up-to-date on expected inclement weather. This allows us to be well-prepared and equipped for snow and ice clearing as soon as conditions require it.

Our snow plowing vehicles are equipped with weather monitoring technology to track real-time conditions. We provide on-demand proof of service, detailing the tasks performed, arrival times, and the duration of each service visit.

With VS Landscape Group, your commercial property will be prepared for whatever winter weather brings, ensuring a safe, accessible environment for everyone.

At VS Landscape Group, we pride ourselves on being a full-service outdoor maintenance company. With a commitment to providing a complete, sustainable solution for both residential and commercial properties, we have expanded our services to include specialized divisions: VS Tree for tree care and removal, and VS Sprinkler for irrigation services.
