But here’s the thing… staking alone will not cut-the-mustard with a large commercial property. Without a SNOW REMOVAL MAPPING PLAN coupled with stakes & flags, your asphalt, bushes, sod, signs, speed bumps, trees and the list goes on; can be pulled-up and destroyed. What’s worse? You don’t see much of the damage for weeks or longer until the snow and ice has completely melted away. At this point, the ‘one-timer’ snow plow guy is long gone… it’s likely he didn’t have insurance anyway… and now you’re stuck with the repair bill.

Like the Pro Golfer who painstakingly hits ball after ball, making one simple adjustment to improve his swing. Then knowing, the preparation and experience paid-off when it mattered most, so it is with your commercial snow removal company.
