Snow Removal & Plowing questions, answered

When does snow removal service start in Milwaukee?

Routes are set in November and run from the first plowable snow, usually early December, through March. Booking before December is strongly recommended, because routes fill and mid-season additions depend on whether a driver is already going past your street.

At what snowfall do you come out?

Standard residential trigger is two inches, and heavier events get multiple passes so a twelve-inch storm never has to be cleared all at once. Lower triggers are available for commercial properties and for anyone who needs a walk clear every morning regardless.

How fast do sidewalks have to be cleared in Wisconsin?

Most southeastern Wisconsin municipalities require property owners to clear public sidewalks within 24 hours after snowfall ends, with fines and city clearing billed back for non-compliance. Exact deadlines vary by city, so confirm your local ordinance. ALT Landscaping schedules walk service to stay inside the typical 24-hour window.

Do you salt as well as plow?

Yes. See ice management. Plowing removes the snow; deicer handles the compacted layer and the refreeze that follows a sunny afternoon. Most customers on a seasonal plan take both.
