When winter weather hits Central Maine, every business needs a reliable plan to keep parking lots, walkways, and entrances safe. Two of the most common options are seasonal snow plowing contracts and per-storm services. Each has its advantages depending on your property, your budget, and your tolerance for unpredictable weather.
At CM Lawn Care & Landscape, we offer both options for our commercial plowing clients in the Waterville area, helping you stay ahead of the snow no matter what the forecast brings.
What is a Seasonal Plowing Contract?
A seasonal plowing contract covers snow removal and ice management services for the entire winter season. You pay a set price upfront or through scheduled payments, and your property is serviced automatically whenever it snows.
Benefits of Seasonal Contracts
- Guaranteed Service: You’re first on the list when snow falls. There’s no need to call or schedule each storm.
- Budget-Friendly Predictability: One fixed rate makes it easy to plan for winter maintenance without surprise costs.
- Peace of Mind: Whether it snows twice or twenty times, your property will be cleared every time.
Best For:
Businesses with large parking lots, medical offices, retail centers, and properties that must remain open and accessible during every storm.
What is Per-Storm Plowing?
With per-storm service, you only pay when plowing is needed. Rates are based on storm size, snowfall totals, and property size.
Benefits of Per-Storm Service
- Pay Only When It Snows: Great for mild winters or smaller properties.
- Flexible Scheduling: You decide when you want service, which can help control costs.
- Short-Term Solution: Ideal for businesses that only need coverage occasionally.
Best For:
Small businesses, seasonal properties, or those on tight budgets that want service as needed.
Which Option is Right for You?
If your business depends on customer access, employee safety, or consistent operations, a seasonal contract offers reliability and cost stability.
If you’re managing a smaller property or prefer to handle snow on a case-by-case basis, per-storm service may be the better fit.
At CM Lawn Care & Landscape, we’ll help you assess your property, expected snow volume, and risk tolerance to find the perfect plan.
