As Winter approaches the task of choosing a snow removal contractor in Colorado becomes a decision many companies face. Being a snow removal contractor in Colorado for 40+ years, we want to share with you what you should look for in a snow removal contractor and why LID Landscapes should be considered at the top of your list as you hire for your Commercial Snow Contract needs.

Below we will outline the most important factors to consider when hiring a snow removal contractor that you should consider and why LID Landscapes should be considered while you’re completing your search.

Communication

Communication is one of the most important factors to consider  since it’s extremely important you are on the same page as your Commercial Snow Plow Contractor  before, during and after a snowstorm. At LID Landscapes we pride ourselves on our relationships with our clients. Many of our snow clients have been with us for several years. Why is that? Well,  LID Landscapes  has a dedicated snow command team that monitors the forecasts closely and communicates regularly with clients once winter arrives,  notifying them of the forecast and plan the day  prior to a snow event via email communications. The snow command team at LID Landscapes lays out the expected snow totals, deployment plan, and any other factors that could affect your business.. Our clients  can also reach our snow command team via phone anytime for any other questions  or concerns before, during, or after a snow event. 

Route density

Route Density is the science of planning a deployment strategy around how spread out your clients are, and LID Landscapes is an industry leader. The more clients Commercial Snow Plow Companies have, the more likely it is they’re spread out over a larger area, which ultimately impacts the customers during snow events due to delays from the snow team getting from site to site. LID Landscapes has structured our route densities to include 5-10 Commercial Snow Plow clients within a 5-10 minute drive to ensure our crews are never far from their next property.  We do this to ensure that we can service as many of our Commercial Snow Removal clients as possible, in the shortest amount of time.

Timing & Quick Service & Response Time

Have you ever considered that Commercial Snow Plow services are one of the most demanding and important customer services you employ for your business? What other maintenance services do you expect immediate attention from your contractor within moments of snow hitting the ground? No matter how much you adore your snow contractor, if they show up two days after a snowstorm, they’re not much use to you. This is one of the most demanding services customers shop for in terms of hiring a Commercial Snow Plow Contractor in Boulder who will service you in a timely manner when the snow arrives.

Commercial Snow Removal services are the only SERVICE industry that has to service 100% of clients in a 4-6 hour window with only 2-4 hours’ notice. We pride ourselves on extremely quick response times with all clients receiving email communication from LID Landscapes within one hour of a snow storm starting. You may wonder how we do that? We monitor several different weather forecasting sources to stay on top of incoming snow events. Upon learning of an expected storm, our team starts preparing our fleet, equipment, and operators so at a moment’s notice  we are ready to service our Commercial Snow Removal client’s and get your parking lots plowed and  sidewalks shoveled and salted.

Wide range of Commercial Snow Services scope

With our years of experience in Commercial Snow Services, we have perfected the services we offer, tailoring them to our various customers including Hospitals, Banks, Office Buildings,  Retail locations, Corporate Parks, and Manufacturing/Warehouse by providing the below services:

• Snow plowing services
• Deicing treatments
• Shoveling and de-icing
• Hauling snow off-site (if needed) for those larger snow events where mounds of snow taking up valuable parking spots are inevitable.
• Anything else you may need in regards to managing your snow or salt needs – we’d be happy to create a custom quote to suit the needs of your business.

Insurance 

As you can imagine, with snowstorms comes reduced visibility and no matter how careful teams are, sometimes damages occur. That is why LID Landscapes has strong insurance partners so if the snow does block a team member’s view and we bump a bush or scratch something, we will repair it and give you the ease of knowing that your property is in good hands.

Whoever you choose as your commercial snow plow contractor, request to see their insurance policy proving that both workman’s comp and liability insurance are included.   Companies can obtain the proper insurance as well as earn a ranking on the Accredited Snow Contractors Association for safe, timely, quality services provided.
