WINTER SERVICES
Reliable snow & ice management — so you don't have to think about it
Ka-Plow Outdoor Services provides professional winter property management for residential and commercial clients throughout the Twin Cities Metro Area. When a Minnesota storm hits, our team is already on the road — keeping your driveways clear, walkways safe, and properties accessible around the clock.

We understand that every property and every storm is different. That's why we offer flexible service options tailored to your needs. Click any service below to learn more.

Also signed up for Summer Services? No problem — billing plans are set independently per season. You can choose Monthly for winter and Per-Service for summer (or any combination), and each runs on its own schedule. Keep in mind that your selected billing method for each season is locked in once service begins and cannot be changed mid-season.

Sidewalk & Walkway Shoveling

A clear driveway doesn't help if the walkways are buried. Our team shovels and clears all pedestrian paths on your property — reducing liability and keeping everyone safe on foot.
  • Front & Rear Walkways: Entry paths from street, garage, and doors cleared completely
  • Staircases & Steps: Fully hand-shoveled for safe footing
  • Sidewalk Compliance: Municipal sidewalk clearing to meet city ordinance requirements
  • Doorway Clearance: Entries shoveled to ensure doors open freely

Often bundled with plowing service for a complete property package. Available as a standalone service as well.

Ice Management

Snow removal alone isn't enough. Ice is often the bigger hazard — invisible, unpredictable, and responsible for the majority of slip-and-fall injuries. Our deicing and salting program keeps surfaces treated before, during, and after storms.
  • Pre-Treatment (Anti-Icing): Applied before storms to prevent ice bonding — dramatically reduces clearing time and product use
  • Post-Storm Salting: Applied after plowing to melt remaining ice and prevent refreezing
  • Spot Treatments: Targeted application to problem areas like shaded spots and low-traffic zones
  • Eco-Conscious Products: Calcium chloride and magnesium chloride options available that are less damaging to concrete and vegetation

Fire Hydrant Clearing

Buried fire hydrants can delay emergency response by critical minutes. Minnesota law requires fire hydrants to be kept accessible — Ka-Plow helps property owners and HOAs stay compliant while doing their part for community safety.
  • Hydrants cleared to a minimum 3-foot radius on all sides
  • Path cleared from street to hydrant for emergency access
  • Inspected after every significant snowfall event
  • Available as an add-on to plowing service or as a standalone program

Particularly important for HOA communities, commercial properties, and any lot with a hydrant in or near the right-of-way.

Utility Access Service

Utility meters, electrical panels, gas shutoffs, and other access points can become buried under heavy snowfall — creating safety hazards and service interruptions. Ka-Plow keeps these critical points accessible all winter long.
  • Gas Meter Clearing: Keeps gas meters and shutoffs free of snow and ice accumulation
  • Electrical Panel Access: Exterior panels and disconnect boxes kept clear
  • AC Unit Protection: Snow cleared from outdoor HVAC equipment to prevent damage
  • Utility Box Marking: Visible marking before snowfall season to prevent accidental burial

Drainage Maintenance

As snow melts, proper drainage becomes critical. Blocked drains and catch basins cause flooding, ice dams, and property damage. Ka-Plow monitors and clears drainage infrastructure throughout the winter season.
  • Catch Basin Clearing: Storm drains and catch basins kept free of snow and ice
  • Downspout Area Clearing: Prevents ice dams from forming at drainage outlets
  • Melt Channeling: Directing snowmelt away from foundations and low spots
  • Spring Transition Monitoring: Checking drainage function as temperatures rise

Snow Hauling & Removal

After a long Minnesota winter, stacking space runs out. Accumulated snow piles reduce parking capacity, block sightlines, and create liability hazards as they melt and refreeze. Ka-Plow hauls excess snow completely off your property.
  • Commercial-grade loaders and dump trucks for efficient bulk removal
  • Ideal for commercial parking lots, HOA communities, and multi-unit properties
  • Scheduled after major storms or as piles reach capacity
  • Snow transported to approved off-site disposal locations

Snow hauling is billed separately from regular plowing — contact us to discuss volume estimates and scheduling.

Roof Snow Removal

Heavy snow accumulation puts serious stress on roof structures. Minnesota's wet, heavy snow can weigh over 20 lbs per cubic foot — far exceeding what many roofs are designed to handle long-term. Ka-Plow offers safe roof snow removal for single-story residential structures.
  • Safe removal from ground level using commercial roof rakes — no climbing required for most single-story applications
  • Targeted removal from valleys, skylights, and low-slope areas most prone to ice damming
  • Ice dam prevention through proactive clearing before melt-freeze cycles
  • Available as an emergency service after major storms or on a scheduled basis

Note: Service is available for single-story homes only. Multi-story or steep-pitch roofs require specialized equipment beyond our current scope.

Loading Dock Clearing

Loading docks are mission-critical for commercial and industrial operations. A buried or icy dock brings deliveries to a halt and creates serious worker safety hazards. Ka-Plow keeps your dock area clear, safe, and operational through every storm.
  • Dock Apron Plowing: Full clearing of the maneuvering area in front of dock doors
  • Approach Lane Clearing: Access routes kept passable for delivery trucks
  • Deicing Treatment: Anti-slip treatment applied to dock floor approach and apron
  • Priority Response: Loading dock clients receive priority dispatch during active storms

Available as part of a full commercial service plan or as a standalone dock-only contract.
