zero tolerance snow removal guarantee

Ware Snow Removal Guarantee

We assure that your property will receive pre-salting before every forecasted snow event. Should we miss a pre-salting, we will provide this service at no cost to you. Our usual practice is to visit your property the evening before an expected snowfall to guarantee safety by the morning. Additionally, if snow persists and begins to accumulate during the morning, we will return to perform further plowing and salting services.

Zero-Tolerance Snow Removal - Snow Plow Services for Work - Pre-Treatment with Ice Prevention

Our zero-tolerance snow removal policy means that we spring into action as soon as a snow event begins. In some cases, we even take preventive measures by coming to your property and putting down de-icer before the snow starts falling.

Plowing

We have top-of-the-line snow-plowing trucks to clear parking lots and other large areas that cars usually drive through. All our snow plow trucks are operated by experienced drivers.

shoveling icon

Shoveling

We’ve found that clearing sidewalks, driveways, and steps by hand is more effective at getting rid of as much snow as possible. Our expert shoveling crews work efficiently too.

De-Icing

Our services include ice control. We’ll put de-icer down either before a snow event or after we’re done clearing snow, or both, to help prevent new snow from sticking.

Monitoring

We monitor the snow radar so we can stay ahead of winter storms and deploy our team to your property as soon as possible after the snow event begins.

Non-Corrosive De-Icer

We happily offer a non-corrosive, safe alternative to salt. It’s chlorine-free, acetate-free, and safe for kids, pets, the environment, and cured concrete.

When we come to your property to clear away snow or ice, our number-one goal is always safety. We focus on opening up key access points and ensure people can pass through your property without any risks of slipping and falling.

Per Push Contracts

You can reserve our team of snow removal specialists for your property for an entire year with our per push contracts. We also offer loyalty-priced three-year contracts. Contract secure a team of our permanent professionals for your property for the whole winter — we don’t subcontract out the work.

Set and Forget Service

Our team deploys automatically when the snow event begins — there’s no need for you to contact us and ask to come out. Nor do we mess around with 2” trigger contracts, which offer a lower level of service.

Oswego Commercial
Snow Removal

If you’re an Oswego business owner, you know how bad a winter storm can be for your operations. A snowed-in parking lot or iced-over walkway can prevent your customers and employees from accessing your property. Plus you have to worry about someone getting injured — which you could be liable for.

You shouldn’t panic when you see snow falling. Instead, work with commercial snow removal experts to ensure the snow and ice get removed so your property becomes safe again. You can go about your regular day and focus your attention on running your business, rather than dealing with the snow.

We provide snow removal and ice control services to a variety of businesses in Oswego, including:

Your type of business may not be listed above, but you should give us a call to discuss your needs anyway. We’d be happy to see what we can do for you.

What people are saying

Ware Landscaping & Snow Removal

View More Testimonials

They did a great job and we are very pleased!

“I contacted Mike at Ware Landscaping for help with fixing my flooded backyard and garage. Mike gave me an honest assessment of my situation and recommended the right system to fix my problems (a lot of issues). Ware Landscaping installed drainage, underground downspouts, underground sump pump lines, driveway drains and surface drains in the yard to fix all my problems.. The team was very professional and always asked for my approval on work being done before it was completed. They did a great job and we are very pleased!”

Jim Kristof

I recommend him without any hesitation.

“We had a water problem in our basement that Mike Ware completely eliminated by removing both our sump pump water and downspout water away from the home. He was professional and highly motivated to solve the problem and do it the right way. I always felt like a priority and that my project mattered. I recommend him without any hesitation.”

FANTASTIC JOB!!!

Ware Landscaping did a FANTASTIC JOB!!! I needed my entire backyard regraded and they filled it in with more than 2 truck loads, installed a French drain and put new beautiful green sod on top. They also power washed and reset my front retaining wall. Communication from the beginning was always very good. We always knew when they were coming out. The project was completed on time as well. They also called on their own a month after the project to check on the sod and were willing to replace some spots due to the June heat wave. Would recommend Ware Landscaping to all!!!”

Dan Malloy

The entire crew were incredible, so friendly, knowledgeable, and paid attention to every detail.

“Mike, Greg and the rest of the crew made our back yard dream a reality with a drainage system to remove the stream that flowed through the middle of the yard, which flooded every rainstorm and stuck around for weeks. To complete the look in came a perfectly designed beautiful hardscape patio that we can’t wait to use this summer. The entire crew were incredible, so friendly, knowledgeable, and paid attention to every detail. Highly recommend!”

Katie Jankowski

The crew was fast, friendly, and tidy.

“We had a wooden deck for a front porch that was starting to age. When we removed it we saw that there was a concrete slab underneath it that was pitched toward our house, creating an issue with standing water up against our foundation. We had Mike come by to advise us on the best solution, and he suggested permeable pavers. We were able to come up with a custom design with him that day. The crew was fast, friendly, and tidy. I’m sure they do much bigger jobs than our little patio, but this project made a huge difference for our home.

Snow Removal FAQs

When it snows, Oswego takes care of main traffic routes, collector roads, neighborhood streets, and cul-de-sacs — in that order. You are responsible for plowing your own driveway> Although clearing sidewalks near your property isn’t required by the village, you are asked to do it if possible.

When the village plow trucks clear roads, they can end up pushing snow onto your property’s sidewalks or driveway, leaving you to clear it away after. Working with a professional snow removal company can ensure that those heavy piles of snow get removed safely and quickly and that you don’t have to worry about anyone getting hurt or stuck when they pass by your property.

You can shovel snow yourself, but it can be backbreaking work for just one person with a shovel. If you have a large driveway or parking lot, it could be an hours-long or even a day-long task to get rid of all the snow. It’s much more efficient and safer for you to hire snow removal experts instead.

At Ware Landscaping and Snow Removal, we have professional-quality equipment, environmentally-friendly de-icer, and a knowledgeable and experienced team to take care of the snow and ice for you. With all those resources at our disposal, we’ll be able to handle the snow much more quickly than you could by yourself, plus we’ll do a more thorough job.
