Do you clear entrances, stairs and ADA routes by hand?
Yes. Dedicated sidewalk crews use snow blowers, shovels and compact equipment on entrances, sidewalks, stairs and ADA routes, while the trucks handle the lot, so both are done when the doors open.
Entrances, fire exits, dumpster access, mailbox clusters and bus stops get called out in the site plan, so nothing is discovered missing at 6 a.m.
Walkway treatment is chosen property by property. Calcium-based ice melt keeps working at lower temperatures than straight rock salt, and it is applied at measured walkway rates, which is what protects concrete and entry flooring. Every application is logged for your records.
