School snow removal
Bus loops, parent drop-off, staff parking and every walkway a student uses, finished before the first bus arrives.
One field to start. No account, no sales call — we come back with a real number.
Why schools are different
A superintendent's decision to open or close partly depends on whether the site will be clear, and that call is made around 5 a.m. Being finished by then, reliably, is worth more to a district than anything else in the contract — because a school that opens on a cleared site keeps its calendar, and a district that burns calamity days pays for them in June.
Then there is how children actually move. They do not use the cleared path, they use the shortest one: across the grass, over the snowbank, between the buses. Clearing a school means clearing the routes students will take rather than the routes the site plan says they should, which is a different map and it is drawn by walking the site with the custodian.
What goes wrong without a plan
- The decision to open hinges partly on whether the lot is clear
- Bus loops and drop-off lanes have to work at the same moment
- Children take the shortest path, not the cleared one
What the contract actually specifies
- Bus loop and parent drop-off finished before first arrival, on the district's clock
- The actual walking routes students use, mapped with the custodian rather than from the site plan
- Staff and visitor parking cleared ahead of the teacher day
- Playground and portable-classroom access where the district requires it
- Documented service for district records and board reporting
What the program covers
- Bus loop and parent drop-off cleared pre-arrival
- Staff and visitor parking
- The full walkway network, including shortcuts kids actually use
- Playground and portable-classroom access where required
- Documented service for district records
What moves the price on a school site
- Bus loop length and whether drop-off and buses share pavement
- Total walking route footage including the shortcuts that need clearing
- How early the site must be finished for the open or close decision
The documentation half
Every visit is GPS-logged with arrival and departure times, the areas cleared and the material applied. That record is what settles a slip-and-fall argument, and it is the part most vendors cannot produce.

Schools questions
Can you be finished before the open-or-close call?
That is the deadline the whole contract is built around. Districts make that decision in the small hours, and a site that will be clear by first bus is one fewer reason to burn a calamity day.
Do you clear the paths students actually use?
Yes, and they are not always the paths on the site plan. We walk the site with the custodian in the fall and map the shortcuts, because those are the ones kids will take regardless of what is cleared.
What about the playground and portables?
In scope where the district wants them. Portable classroom access in particular gets missed by contractors working from a parking-lot mindset.
