Automatic Dispatch. Photo Verification on Every Visit. 24/7 Hotline Answered by a Person.
Your parking lot is the first thing employees, customers, and delivery drivers encounter when they arrive at your commercial property. When it is buried, icy or slippery, your operation does not run on time and your liability exposure starts immediately.
Earth Development provides commercial parking lot snow removal and ice management for commercial clients across the Midwest. We dispatch automatically when your storm threshold is hit. You do not have to call, check, or wonder. When the job is done, we receive photo verification and a detailed service record. Not a call asking whether you need service.
If you are looking for a commercial snow removal company that treats your parking lot as seriously as you do, you are in the right place.

This is what they have to say about working with us:
What Commercial Parking Lot Snow Removal With Earth Development Actually Includes
Full Parking Lot Plowing and Snow Clearing
Every storm event. Snow pushed clear of fire lanes, loading docks, sight lines, and active spaces. We dispatch automatically when your threshold is hit. You do not have to call.
De-icing and Parking Lot Ice Management
Plowing moves snow. Ice management keeps your lot safe between events. We apply the right material at the right rate based on conditions, not a blanket application. Every application documented.
Service Verification on Every Visit
Photo verification and a service record on every single job. We know the work was done. We have the documentation to support it if anything ever comes into question, including slip and fall liability support.
24/7 Snow Hotline Answered by a Person
Not a voicemail. Not a routing tree. A real live person, all winter, around the clock. For emergencies, schedule changes, and anything outside your regular program.
One Dedicated Account Manager
Your Account Manager knows your lot layout, your service triggers, and your contract terms before the first storm of the season. Not a rotating rep. Not someone you have to brief every time you call.
Snow Hauling When Accumulation Exceeds Your Lot Capacity
When snow piles start blocking sight lines, fire lanes, or parking spaces, we haul it out. Available standalone or bundled under your parking lot program.
What a Vendor Who Actually Shows Up Looks Like
Most facilities managers who switch to Earth Development do it after one vendor failure too many.
A storm that did not get handled. A lot that was still buried when operations opened. A vendor who went quiet at 3am. You do not have to wait for that to happen again.
Our commercial parking lot snow plowing equipment is built for the worst storms, not the average ones. Powerful plows and purpose-built machinery clear your lot fast and completely, including the tight spaces near loading docks, sidewalks, and fire lanes that other contractors skip. When conditions get serious and other providers are overwhelmed, our operation does not slow down.
Our Tailored Approach to Property Care
We strive to make it easy to work with us to keep your operations up and running throughout the seasons. This is how we provide world-class snow removal service and landscape maintenance:

Expect a call from a Regional Service Advisor the same day if you reach out before noon, next day otherwise. Your advisor reviews your property map, your current program if you have one, and where your real liability exposure sits. This is a working conversation, not a sales pitch.
You will typically have a proposal within four business days. It includes line-itemized service levels, transparent pricing, and four structure options: seasonal flat rate, per event, time and materials, or hybrid. No surprises before you sign.
You'll meet your dedicated account manager, who will be your one point of contact throughout your premium partnership with us. We’ll confirm service details for your property ahead of the upcoming season.
Once we have the plan in hand, we work to ensure you don't have to think about it again. We’ll automatically dispatch services when required, and you’ll have access to our 24/7 Snow Hotline for emergencies and special requests. Rely on consistent updates from your dedicated account manager and an operational support team with a full staff to meet all your needs. Our partnerships are a two-way street, and we're passionate about our people—we're here to help.

There are several best practices to follow to make sure a parking lot is plowed effectively and safely, even if snow continues to fall. First, areas around buildings and doors are plowed, back dragging snow away from the building and navigating around speed bumps.
Next, it’s time to push and pile snow, starting by making a pass down the center. In larger lots, it’s best to break down the lot into smaller areas, piling snow downwind to minimize drifting. We stack snow to make the process easier. At Earth Development Inc., our extensive fleet of over 500 vehicles can help you clear snow from even the largest commercial parking lots.
It depends on the size of your parking lot. When we pre-plan with clients, we make sure to assess the size of the lot and ensure we have completed our plowing well before business hours begin. Call us to schedule a consultation so we can develop a customized plan for you.
Planning is key when it comes to piled snow on parking lots. It’s best to focus on snow removal either early in the morning prior to employees and customers arriving, or later at night after your business has closed. This will be an easier time to effectively plow when there aren't parked cars or other obstacles on your property.
The price of snow removal depends largely on the size of your parking lot, the amount of snow that has fallen, and how soon the job needs to be completed. Contact a member of our team to learn more about our pricing and services! We will start plowing as soon as we can.
We continuously monitor the weather conditions and the winter storm to proactively clear snow from the parking lot at regular intervals during a snow event to maintain safe conditions.
We utilize state-of-the-art snow removal equipment and employ efficient techniques such as snow plowing, snow blowing, and shoveling to ensure thorough and timely snow removal from parking lots. Our plow blade is powerful at pushing snow and can even tend to the tricky outer edges of your property.
