Snow removal, home & commercial · Drumlin Heights & the ridge roads · Nov–Apr

The plow knows your address before the snow does.

Plowline clears drives, lots and lane-ends across the Heights on contract — trucks rolling at the first flake, not the first complaint. You watch the storm from the window; we watch it from the cab, and the driveway is clear before you have decided about the shovel.

What a contract buys

The storm, hour by hour

A six-inch northerly on a Tuesday, from the first flake to the last pass — this is the sequence every contract on the Heights is riding.

1

Hour 0 — the watch

The forecast that matters is the one at the airport eleven miles out. Trucks fuelled, blades greased, brine loaded before the first flake — the storm finds us ready or it waits for nobody.

2

Hour 1 — the trigger

Two inches on the mall roof, measured, not guessed. Route one rolls: contracts first in pass one, per-push registered addresses in pass two, the storm line answering between gear changes.

3

Hour 3 — the first clear

Driveways opened to the street, walks salted, commercial lots passable for the early shift. Every visit time-stamped into the log that becomes your invoice and, when it matters, your lawyer’s exhibit.

4

Hour 6 — the six-inch pass

The storm’s second act gets the second pass, back-bladed to the garage doors, windrows opened at the aprons, and a courtesy check on the steep pitches the thaw will make interesting.

5

Morning — the audit

The route driven again in daylight, touch-ups where the plow wind built its own drift, and the invoice in your inbox by nine: visits, times, totals, nothing you did not watch happen.

Last February the storm beat the forecast by four hours and I woke at midnight certain we were shovelling at dawn. The driveway was already clear — the time-stamped invoice said hour three. I renew on the first of October now, like a tax I am happy to pay.

Contract or per-push — which is honest for me?

Four storms or fewer on an easy driveway, per-push saves money and we will say so. Five or more, or a pitch that drifts shut, the contract wins by December. Both ride the same trucks at the same trigger — the only difference is the arithmetic.

What is the two-inch trigger, exactly?

Two inches measured on the flat, not the forecast’s promise of it. Below that the salt and the sun can have the job; at it, the route rolls. The trigger is in the contract because “when it looks bad” is how companies end up arguing with customers in March.

Do you clear the snow the town plow puts back?

The apron windrow gets opened on every visit — that berm at the end of the drive is the most hated object on the Heights, and it is included, not an “extra visit” with a bolded line on the invoice.

What about the roof?

Raked with plastic paddles, never steel, before the load finds the thaw-freeze cycle — and if the ice dams have already formed, low-pressure steam off the shingles, gutters checked, $420 and up by the length. The add-on card has both.

The time-stamped invoice

Every visit logged to the minute — trigger, arrival, clear. It is your proof for the HOA, the insurer or the argument with the other half about whose turn it was; ours for the route audit that keeps the median at three hours.
