Commercial Sidewalk Snow Removal That Opens Your Doors on Time
Your parking lot can be spotless and you can still have trouble with six feet of icy sidewalk. Entryways, walkways, and building approaches see the most concentrated foot traffic on your property, and they are where many slip and fall claims happen.
At Earth Development, sidewalks and entryways are not a part of the job we rush at the end. We clear by hand the spots a plow can’t reach, apply ice control before the melt and refreeze cycle turns your entrance into a hazard, and keep crews on your walkways through the storm, not just after it.
Your commercial snow removal program covers every square foot people actually use, with one dedicated Account Manager who knows your property and a 24/7 Snow Hotline answered by a real person.

The Ten Feet Most Snow Vendors Skip
Plenty of contractors will clear your lot and call it done, leaving your sidewalks and entryways for someone else, or for no one. We don’t. Clearing walkways takes coordination, the right crew size, and the willingness to show up in serious storm conditions, when demand is highest and it matters most. That is the work we built our reputation on.
Your dedicated Account Manager knows which entrances open first, which approaches ice over, and where your foot traffic concentrates, before the first flake falls. When you need us, the 24/7 Snow Hotline is answered by a person, not a routing tree.

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:
Fill out our online contact form to request your free Toolbox which will help you avoid the common mistakes when planning your snow and landscape contract.
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.

Ready To Get Started?
Sidewalks and entryways carry the most concentrated foot traffic on your property, even in winter, and they are where most slip and fall claims begin. Children, older adults, and visitors with mobility needs face the greatest risk on an icy approach. Clearing your pedestrian paths quickly protects people and signals that your business is run with care.
Rules vary by municipality, so check your local ordinance. As a general standard, you clear snow as soon as possible after it falls and keep a path at least five feet wide on every sidewalk adjacent to your property, without pushing snow into the right of way, transit stops, bike lanes, or parking spaces. We build your service plan around your local requirements.
Yes. Many municipalities issue citations for uncleared sidewalks, often in the $50 to $500 range per case, with the amount set locally. A reliable commercial sidewalk snow removal contract takes that risk off your plate.
