How a seasonal snow contract works

Snow contractors in Traverse City fill their routes in October and November. When you sign with Global Asphalt before the first storm, we walk your property with you and put the details in writing.

Trigger depth
The snowfall that starts a plow visit, agreed per property.
Priority and timing
When your lot has to be open, so it is cleared before your doors are.
Salting and de-icing
Included with each visit, or on its own schedule.
Sidewalks and entrances
Which walkways and doors are on the route.
Storage and hauling
Where the piles go, and when they get hauled out.
Staking
Curbs, islands, hydrants, drains and wheel stops marked before the ground freezes.
24-hour availability
Overnight, weekend and holiday storms are covered.
Site walk
Before the first storm we walk the lot with you and mark the plan on paper.

Two ways to contract

Seasonal flat rate

One price for the whole season, however much it snows.

  • Budget certainty in a heavy winter
  • Plowing, salting and sidewalks on the agreed trigger
  • Suits properties that must open every day: retail, healthcare, offices

Per push

Billed for each plow or salt visit.

  • Pay only for the storms you get
  • Same trigger depth, same crew, same 24-hour coverage
  • Suits lower-traffic lots and lighter winters

Not sure which fits your lot? One call to Global Asphalt settles it.

Before the snow flies

Plow blades find every open crack and pothole. The repairs you make in October cost far less than the resurfacing you face in April. Four things to do before the first storm:

More reading: ADA compliant snow removal, why salting matters on a commercial lot, and how Michigan winters destroy parking lots.

  1. Hot rubber crack filling to keep water out of the base through the freeze-thaw season.
  2. Pothole patching and infrared repair of broken edges and low spots before they freeze.
  3. Clear the drains and note where water ponds at entrances and walkways. That is where the ice will be.
  4. Fresh parking lot striping, so accessible spaces and fire lanes are clear when the snow melts. If a pothole opens mid-winter, our winter hot mix lets us patch it in January instead of waiting for spring.
