DON’T SHOVEL!
Hopefully you have been going to the gym all summer to prepare for the winter, because if you plan on shoveling instead of hiring a plowing service, you’re going to need that strength and stamina. As we all know, winter in New England is no joke. Shoveling snow is an extremely intense activity that quite frankly can cause you more harm than it’s worth. There are numerous studies out there that find people who shovel snow all winter are at a much higher risk of not only sustaining injuries, but also risk becoming ill, getting frostbite, and in more serious cases, people have even had heart attacks due to the strenuous activity. Please don’t risk anything happening to you — no amount of money is worth risking your health and safety over.
Why Shoveling Is Harder on Your Body Than It Looks
A single shovelful of wet, heavy snow can weigh anywhere from 15 to 20 pounds, and a full driveway can easily add up to hundreds of repetitions of lifting, twisting, and throwing in cold temperatures. That combination — cold air constricting blood vessels while you’re exerting sudden, heavy physical effort — is exactly why doctors and cardiologists have long flagged snow shoveling as one of the more dangerous “everyday” activities each winter. Add in slippery, icy conditions underfoot, and it’s easy to see how a routine chore turns into a trip to the ER. Our snow plowing crews deal with these exact conditions every storm, with the training and equipment to do it safely.
We Come Prepared, So You Don’t Have To
We come equipped with heavy-duty trucks and plows to push all of that snow right out of the way for you and your family to be able to easily access your home’s entry points. Our operators know these routes and driveways from years of clearing them, which means we can move efficiently and safely, even in the middle of an overnight storm, without the guesswork a first-time plow driver might face. This will not only allow you to have ease of mind when coming and going from home, but also allow you to not stress about waking up for work two hours early to shovel, or having to shovel a foot of snow in the dark after a long day of work.
Reliable Service When You Need It Most
Winter storms don’t follow a 9-to-5 schedule, and neither do we. Our routes are planned so that your property gets cleared promptly once snowfall totals hit our trigger depth, whether that’s the middle of the night or first thing in the morning — so you’re not the last driveway on the list when you need to leave for work.
Our Goal: Less Stress, More Safety
Our #1 goal is to help you and to make your life easier, because we know how crazy and busy life is today, and we want to take as much stress out of your life as possible. That means fewer sore backs, fewer slips on the ice, and one less thing on your plate during the busiest, coldest months of the year.
