The seasonal nature of ice and snow make property maintenance a challenging task for some companies who are ill-equipped to deal with it.  The fact that snowplowing work can take place at unpredictable times further complicates the issue, especially during rush hour traffic.  So, it’s important that the equipment matches the workload.

Ice and snow removal equipment can include:
 

• all-terrain vehicles

• front-end loaders

• pick-up trucks

• plows

• skid steers
   

In recent years, manufacturers of snowplowing and snow removal equipment have made significant advancements in technology. The most common snowplows that Indresano Landscaping uses today include the following types:
 

• Snow Pusher Plows – these devices can be attached to backhoes, compact utility tractors, loaders, or skid-steer loaders.  This equipment moves large amounts of snow efficiently and quickly.  Snow pushers contain snow without creating windrows and eliminate the need for repeated snowplowing.
   

• Straight Plows – the general rule of thumb is to angle the blade of a straight plow away from buildings and towards the property perimeter.  This helps to push the snow away from buildings as far as possible.
   

• V-Plows – the shape of this plow makes it very effective for breaking up deep drifts as well as hard-packed ice and snow. The blade can be set at an angle or straight for a wider plowed path or for stacking.  Plus, they can also be placed in a scooping position for carrying snow with a minimum amount of spilling or for larger clean-ups.
