Winter 24/7

Commercial Snow Plowing & Ice Control in Salem, OR

Salem doesn't get a lot of winter storms — but when one hits, it hits hard, and commercial parking lots need to be plowed before employees and customers show up. Great Yards runs a 24/7 snow monitoring and dispatch service across the Willamette Valley.

What's included

Commercial snow plowing from Great Yards includes parking-lot plowing, sidewalk shoveling, curb-line cleanup, ice-melt application on walkways and entrances, and post-event pushback (moving snow piles out of high-value parking spots the day after). Contracts typically cover the full winter season on an on-call basis, with response times matched to your building's opening hours.

How we work

Every commercial snow contract starts with a site walk in fall — before the first storm — where we map plow patterns, ice-melt priority zones, snow-pile locations, and any obstacles (planters, bollards, drainage). During the winter, we monitor NWS forecasts around the clock and dispatch based on accumulation triggers you specify (usually 1–2 inches or a scheduled pre-treat before a forecast event).

Who it's for

Property managers with commercial parking lots and building sidewalks across Salem, Keizer, Silverton, Turner, and the broader Willamette Valley. HOAs and townhome complexes with private streets and common walkways. Churches, schools, and any commercial site where opening on time after a storm matters.

Why Great Yards

Commercial snow is a specialty — the equipment, the insurance, the 24/7 dispatch capability, and the site-familiarity all matter. Nineteen years of Salem-area service, fully insured, with the equipment and crew capacity to handle multi-site portfolios when a valley-wide event hits.

Frequently asked questions

What's the response time?
Response time depends on your contract terms — typically we're on-site before your building opens after a storm meets the trigger accumulation. We map that during the fall walk-through.
Do you handle sidewalks and just parking lots?
Both. Sidewalk shoveling, ice-melt on walkways and entries, and full parking-lot plow are all included in a standard commercial snow contract. Pick and choose or bundle.
What if it snows overnight?
That's what the 24/7 monitoring is for. We're up watching forecasts and dispatching so the lot is cleared before the morning rush.
Do you offer residential snow removal?
Residential snow work is available for existing full-service maintenance clients as an add-on — not offered standalone in most cases.
