What to Expect During a Snow Storm
During a snow storm, Celtic Lawn & Landscape will track the storm minute-by-minute as it moves into the area. Once snow accumulation or precipitation is predicted, preparations are made to begin immediate deployment of crews and equipment. Salting crews are dispatched as soon as the storm begins, generally in the first 2-4 hours of the storm. After two inches of snow accumulation, commercial parking lots and walkways will be plowed and shoveled.
Residential driveways will be plowed after 1½ inches of accumulation. For example, if 1 to 3 inches of snow is predicted, driveways will be plowed after the accumulation has ended. If more than 3 inches of snow is predicted, driveways will be plowed multiple times during a snow storm. Residential walkways will be shoveled with in 24 hours after the storm.
Please note that when snow accumulations continue to occur over several hours, crews will repeat routes until the snow has ceased and driveways and lots are cleared. It is also important to understand this process in the event that you are at the beginning of the route … we will be back!
For our commercial customers, Celtic Lawn & Landscape will return the following day after a snow storm to plow the edges, driveways, and parking areas previously occupied by vehicles. This is a routine follow up service and is provided at no additional charge.
