Snow Removal

Snow removal for homes and businesses in Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, and the towns in between. We clear driveways, sidewalks, and lots, and salt the slick spots, so you can get out the door without picking up a shovel.

Showing snow the door.

Eastern Iowa winters do not ease you in. One storm drops six inches overnight, the next one turns it to slush, and by morning it has frozen into ruts across your driveway. Snow that sits does not stay snow for long. It packs down, refreezes, and turns into ice that is much harder to remove.

We clear it while it is still snow. Driveways, walks, steps, and parking lots are handled by a local crew that already knows Iowa City and Cedar Rapids streets, so you can stay inside with your coffee.

Let it snow

How much is out there?

Drag the slider to pile snow on the house, then let our crew clear it. Watch how quickly a few inches turns into a ton of work.

6in

≈ 1,680 lbs on the driveway

Now it's a workout. The driveway, walks, and steps all need attention.

Weight is a rough estimate for a 20×24 ft two-car driveway of average fresh snow. Wet, heavy snow can weigh much more.
