Commercial property owners in Plainfield, Illinois understand the unexpected challenges excessive snow can bring. Snowed-in parking lots that a shovel alone can’t clear and require constant plowing can prove stressful. Walkways that need daily shoveling and deicing can take up the majority of your day.
Humid and moisture-filled winters are par for the course in Plainfield, but you shouldn’t have to stress over snow removal for your commercial property. If you choose to take care of snow removal on your own, you may have to risk travel in adverse weather, or have your employees tack time onto their full workdays to shovel.
Let the professional Plainfield commercial snow removal team at Ware Landscaping take care of winter obstacles to your business so you can concentrate on your daily operations.
Why you need commercial snow removal services in Plainfield
If you’re a commercial property owner in Plainfield, you’ve probably endured the brutally cold winters and abundant ice and snow. The average winter temperature in Plainfield is a not-so-balmy 16°F, so even on dry days, ice can become an issue.
Your parking lot and walkways can quickly become hazardous for clients or customers, and your property entrances may be obstructed by the unappealing aesthetics of iced-over, dirty snow.
The headaches winter weather can bring for rental properties or businesses can impede revenue and lower curb appeal if you’re placing your commercial property on the market. City and state ordinances require property owners to clear accumulated snow and ice to make their properties safe for others.
Whether you own a restaurant, assisted living facility, retail business, apartment building, or offices, commercial snow removal can keep your property safe and allow you to focus on running your business.
The snow removal specialists at Ware Landscaping can empathize with the headaches that Plainfield’s winter weather can bring. We’ve helped countless commercial property and homeowners take care of snow removal for over two decades.
If ice and snow threaten the safety of those who use your commercial property, we can employ measures to help. Fierce snowstorms, ice storms, and even mild winter events may require high-end equipment to ensure the safety of your property.
Here are some of the ways Ware Landscaping’s snow removal services can help:
Monitor and prepare:
You don’t have to worry about contacting us after a storm in Plainfield. We keep a close eye on the weather forecast and will schedule a time to clear your property based on your needs. This means you can relax after moisture-filled weather blows in overnight.
Utilize heavy-duty snow removal equipment:
We maintain top-of-the-line, heavy-duty snow removal equipment, including bobcats and commercial-grade snow shovels
Plow your parking lots:
Our plow equipment is regularly serviced and maintained to ensure excellent service. We can plow your parking lot anytime a weather event makes it necessary.
Snow removal packages:
Our snow removal service contracts are available in one or three-year bundles. Regardless of which package you choose, you won’t have to worry about snow removal throughout the season.
If you choose the one-year package and recognize your need for a continual yearly service, you can resign for a three-year package at the end of the year. This will ensure you don’t have to panic about the safety of your property after inclement winter weather for years to come!
Service out-of-the-way areas:
We’ll take care of the difficult-to-reach areas that still need to be cleared of snow or de-iced. For example, even the row of parking spaces that aren’t attached to your main parking lot can be cleared.
Eco-friendly de-icing:
We don’t use rock salt to de-ice your surface areas, as it can be heavily corrosive, toxic to pets and kids, and non-absorbent. Instead, we use the eco-, kid-, and pet-friendly alternative, Safe Paw.
What you need to know about Plainfield snow
During winter months, there’s an average of 38.2 days of snow in Plainfield, and it can snow from November–April. Often, the cold temperatures and overcast skies make it difficult for this snow to melt before the next storm rolls in.
Snow can turn to icy slush and a snowpack can form that may make it difficult to conduct efficient DIY snow removal. Commercial snow removal works great as a preventative measure against ice and unsightly accumulation of old snow.
City-run removal operations plow the public roadways in Plainfield and are put on alert even after a dusting of snow. The city government suggests that you clear all of your sidewalks, parking lots, and walkways after the plows have been used, but within a reasonable amount of time to ensure your property is safe.
The disadvantages of DIY snow removal
You may be tempted to use a snow blower and a standard shovel to remove snow from your Plainfield commercial property on your own. Beyond the exhaustion of hard manual labor and time consumption, there are numerous disadvantages to do-it-yourself snow removal.
Here are several reasons why DIY snow removal can prove detrimental:
Heart attacks and other health hazards:
Extreme cold temperatures and unexpected hardcore physical exertion can cause your blood vessels to constrict and have led to cardiac arrests, strokes, and even death for some unsuspecting property owners.
Similarly, if you try to remove snow or ice from hard-to-reach places, you could be injured by falling icicles or heavy snow. Falls from icy spots can also lead to severe injury. That’s why commercial snow removal in Plainfield is best left to the professionals.
Broken equipment:
Even if you invest in high-end equipment such as Bobcats or plow trucks, if the person operating said equipment hasn’t been properly trained, it could lead to expensive repairs and equipment failure.
Snow stuck to shovels:
After a blizzard with significant measurable snowfall and frigid temperatures, if you’ve stored your shovel in a warm tool room, it may not work at all. Snow can stick to the shovel, rendering it useless.
An improperly working shovel can cause you to waste your time and fails to remove the safety hazards left behind by extreme weather events.
Yard drainage issues:
If you leave snow to accumulate after each storm, the pile-up could lead to excessive water run-off issues in the warmer months and create yard drainage problems.
A well-maintained, customized yard drainage solution can help erase these issues. However, contacting a professional snow removal team may prove to be your best option.

“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.”
Michael Swider
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.
