Snow Removal in Voorheesville, NY

Open, exposed properties near the escarpment drift badly because wind moves already-fallen snow across open ground and deposits it in the first sheltered spot, which is often a driveway. On properties with a known drift pattern we plan return passes rather than treating it as an unexpected event.
