Snow Details & Process

 

Snow Plowing

Ring Lawn Care will plow when 1” of snow has accumulated. Depending on the time of the snowfall, we attempt to service customers by 7:00 AM or 5:00 PM. Often times roadway snow plows fill driveway aprons with excess snow after they have been cleared.

If this causes a hazard, kindly contact us and we will attempt to clear this within a reasonably agreed upon time frame. Ring Lawn Care will return after business hours to perform a final lot cleaning.

Continuous Snow Fall During Business Hours

We will open up parking lots & clear walkways to keep your business or establishment open for your visitors and employees. If snow continues, we will continue to make our rounds to all of our properties. If you feel you have not seen us for some time, contact us, but just know we have you on our list and most likely will be coming soon.

  • Open up parking lots consist of clearing main driving lanes
  • Clearing walkways consist of clearing a path to main entrance door/s

Final clean up will commence after business hours.

 

Seasonal Snow Fall Cap

Minnesota winters are unpredictable. Some winters produce very little snow and other’s produce record setting seasons. The snow amount threshold for our budgeting purpose is (40) forty inches. If threshold is broken, 14% of the monthly or per occurrence rate will be added to your monthly invoice for the remainder of the snow service agreement season.

   

De-icing 

Ring Lawn Care will be responsible for de-icing. De-icing materials of Ring Lawn Care’s choice will be applied to driveway/ parking lot, walkway, stairway and handicap access ramp.

Ring Lawn Care will make the decision as to when and how much material is to be applied is based on many factors including but not limited to: current ground temperature, current weather forecasts from the national weather service, future weather prediction and customer request.

Customer is aware that weather conditions in the area may change rapidly and without notice. Changes in weather conditions are considered to be an “Act of God” and Ring Lawn Care assumes no liability as such.

De-icing Prices

We purchase de-icing salt before the winter season. If our stockpile purchase runs out, we will purchase more at the market rate. If we have to purchase at the market rate, you may notice this on your invoice.

Walkways/Steps

Sidewalks and steps that have accumulated 1” will be cleared.     

Drifting Snow
