Entrance Snow Clearing in Dubuque, IA
Every Entrance Cleared and Safe
Your front entrance is the first thing visitors see and the last place you want ice hiding after a Dubuque snowstorm. We clear the entire path from your front door to the street or driveway, including porch steps, landing areas, and walkway surfaces. Every entrance clearing includes a light application of ice melt to prevent refreeze on shaded north-facing surfaces where Dubuque's freeze-thaw cycles create hazardous conditions.
Entrance clearing is especially critical for properties in older Dubuque neighborhoods where sidewalks are narrow, uneven, and close to the street. Our crews know which walkways settle, where ice pools after melt, and how to clear tight stairways without damaging railings or decorative stone. Safe access to your home should never be something you worry about.

Frequently Asked Questions
Lawn Care And Snow Removal can be complex, and we’re here to provide answers to common questions. Here are some frequently asked questions from our clients.
Frequently Asked Questions about Lawn Care Dubuque
How often should I mow my lawn in Dubuque?
During peak growing season from May through September, most Dubuque lawns need weekly mowing. Our Zone 5a bluegrass and ryegrass blends grow fastest when daytime temps stay between 60 and 75 degrees. We adjust frequency based on rainfall and your turf condition so you always get a clean cut without stressing the grass.
When does snow removal season start in Dubuque?
We typically begin snow removal operations in late November, though early storms can push that into October some years. Dubuque averages over 44 inches of snowfall per season, and our crews stay on call through late March. We monitor forecasts daily so your property is cleared before the city's 48-hour sidewalk ordinance deadline.
Do you offer year-round property maintenance?
We provide lawn care from spring through fall and snow removal through the winter months. Having one team handle your property all year means we know your landscape inside and out. Seasonal transitions like fall cleanup and spring recovery are built right into our service plans.
What areas do you service besides Dubuque?
We serve Dubuque and the surrounding tri-state area including Asbury, Peosta, Platteville, Galena, and Maquoketa. Whether you are in Dubuque County, across the river in Galena, or up in Grant County, our crews reach your property on schedule every visit.
How quickly can you respond after a snowfall?
Our goal is to have residential properties cleared within hours of snowfall ending. For contract customers, we prioritize early morning clearing so driveways and sidewalks are safe before you leave for work. Commercial accounts receive priority service during and after the storm.
Do I need to be home for lawn care service?
No, you do not need to be home. Once we set up your service schedule, our crew arrives on the assigned day and takes care of everything. We leave a door tag or send a text when the job is complete so you always know when we have been there.
Frequently Asked Questions about Entrance Snow Clearing
What counts as entrance snow clearing?
Entrance snow clearing covers the walkway from your front door to the driveway or street, including porch steps and landing areas. We make sure anyone entering or leaving your home has a safe, clear path from the door to where they park.
How soon after a storm do you clear entrances?
For contract customers, entrance clearing begins within hours of snowfall ending. We prioritize early morning runs so your path is clear before the morning commute. During heavy Dubuque storms we make multiple passes to keep accumulation manageable.
Do you salt entrances after clearing?
Yes, we apply a light layer of granular ice melt to entrance walkways and steps after clearing. This prevents refreeze on Dubuque's shaded north-facing porches where ice builds up fast during our freeze-thaw cycles.
Can you clear both front and side entrances?
Absolutely. We clear every entrance you need including front doors, side entries, garage walk-throughs, and basement stairwells. Just let us know which access points you use and we build them into your service plan.
Keep every entrance to your home safe this winter. Contact us to set up entrance clearing service.
