Snow Patrol shovels and salts your walkways, steps, and porch after every snow. Done within 6 to 8 hours of the snow stopping. The salt is safe for dogs' paws. December through March, one flat monthly price.
We clear walkways, not driveways — with one exception. The first ten Snow Patrol signups paired with any recurring plan, Yard Patrol or Groundkeep, get their driveway included. No extra cost. Ten spots across both brands, first come, first served.
Why only ten? A snowstorm gives us a limited number of hours. We won't promise more shoveling than we can finish on time.
After every snow, we shovel and salt every place you walk: the front walk, steps, porch, deck, and back patio. If your car is parked outside, we brush the snow off it too. We're done within 6 to 8 hours of the snow stopping. That's the promise, and it's in writing.
The price is the same every month — a snowy January costs what a quiet March costs. If snow buries the yard, we clear a path so your dog can still get out. And in spring there's no catch-up fee; your regular visit handles the mess the melt uncovers.
Snow Patrol is $35 a month on its own. Pair it with dog service and it drops to half price or free. Here's every option, with the real prices:
Snow Patrol always costs the same: $35 a month. What changes is whether you pay it. With twice-weekly or weekly dog service, you don't — it's included.
Here's what snow services in our area typically charge, next to what's on this page. Add it up however you like.
On a weekly or twice-weekly plan, the whole Snow Patrol column is already your plan. Nothing to add, nothing extra to pay.
Normally, driveways aren't part of Snow Patrol. They take a long time, and promising too many of them is how snow companies end up hours late.
Except for the first ten households.
Who gets it: the first ten Snow Patrol signups paired with any recurring plan, Yard Patrol or Groundkeep. If you're in the ten, your driveway is part of the service. Every storm, all winter.
When the ten are claimed, that's it.
Miss the ten? Your walkways, steps, and porch still get everything on this page. And if a driveway spot ever opens up, you're first in line.
17 weeks, December through March. One square is one week your walkways get salted.
We use magnesium chloride salt: safe for dogs' paws, and it keeps melting ice down to −13°F. Cheaper salts stop working around 20°F.

We sell safe footing: every place you walk, shoveled and salted after every snow. One flat monthly price, printed right on this page. Driveways aren't included, except for the first ten. We cap that so the 6-to-8-hour promise holds for everyone.
We won't sell winter surcharges, spring fees, or fine print. And if a storm ever puts us behind schedule, you'll hear it from us first, straight, with a new time.
