• We begin our route at 1.5″ of snow, and we shoot for a 5-6 hour complete cycle time. This means that during the day your driveway will be cleared every 5 hours or after 1.5″ of snow accumulation. We will work with the storm to make sure your driveway is clear when you need it most. After every storm we will reverse the route so that the “last will come first.” There is no favoritism in our routing simple geography is the deciding factor in how we service your driveways. Increasing the number of driveways in your neighborhood is the best way to insure the fastest service.
• The program anticipates multiple visits by the city plows—it’s all included! When the tractors come to your house they will service as much of the driveway as they can safely access. When the route is complete we revisit to make sure we get everything left by the city plows. The day after the snow stops we run through the route again starting at 9 AM—we will post announcements through email. You must remove all cars and keep them moved until we complete this clearing operation—we clean up where all cars were parked and any remaining city plowing “debris.” If the cars remain unmoved we will skip your driveway or clear all remaining accessible snow. Should you require additional service when you move the car and you call us, we will charge a $50.00 fee to make this service call and we will perform this work on our schedule.

• Smaller snow piles.
• Typically allows for better cleaning down to the hard surface.
• Allows snow removal to get closer to garage, thus reducing amount of shoveling.
• Fast turn around time for snow removal we are typically just as efficient at 1.5″ as we are at 12″ of snow we strive for 5-6 hr completion after a snow event.
• Single passes allows for moving snow off driveway and out of street curb area’s
• We return to address the pile left by city plows, so you don’t have to dig out of the end of the driveway.

We use tractor mounted snowblowers to quickly and thoroughly clear the snow from your driveway. We don’t need to push piles back onto your lawn (risking unsightly turf damage) and we will leave no piles at the end of your driveway that block your view of traffic (making backing out of the driveway perilous). The snowblowers also have the distinct advantage of handling all amounts of snow from 1.5”-12” at about the same pace—meaning we our rate of service remains mostly unchanged with the severity of the snowstorm. The priority at which we can service your driveway takes all the tedium and worry out of the task for you as a homeowner. No more wondering where the plow guy is during those multi-day snow storms

• When snow stops falling at 1.5″ accumulation, Sand Creek Services will start the snow removal process

• Route is designed to take 5-6 hrs to complete
• Route will be switched after each event. 1st shall be last and last shall be first for fairness
• Snow will be cleared off of each driveway
• Snow will be cleared up to curb of your road frontage
• Driveways that we have completed but city plows have not cleared the street will be revisited to clear off street snow in front of driveways/street frontage
• We will return the same day or following day and clean out driveways that have had vehicles parked in them during the previous event. If events overlap last event will take precedence.
• If customer vehicles are not moved after 2nd day any clearing request will be billed at $50.00 per request

• If the snow has stopped falling by 2 AM the driveways will be clear by 7 AM (at least a first pass clear). The towns of Jordan and Belle Plaine begin the plowing routes around 2 AM We will follow the plows as best as we can and will have the driveways clear so you can get to work. As soon as we complete the route we will head back through again and clear out any plow furrows that got shoved back in after our first pass. In the case of a continuous snow we would pass back through the entire route insuring easy passage back into your drive after work. The snow doesn’t always fit the complete by 2 AM schedule—if it stops snowing at 6 AM we won’t have the driveways cleared by 7AM—neither will the towns have cleared all the neighborhood streets.

• We will clear drifting snow at no additional cost—we will group all drifting calls into one run for a tractor and take care of them all at once. We will inform you via email or twitter for scheduling.
