Each Home Owners Association for a series of residences is different, and therefore have different snow removal policies. Regardless of whether or not you’re a resident looking for snow removal in an HOA or lead an HOA and want snow removal for the homes in your community, you’ve come to the right place.
The way HOA homes and communities work might be a little complicated to understand or different than what you’re used to. Homes in HOA communities are provided with snow removal in common areas, such as roads, intersections, and other places. However, the residents of the community are responsible for snow removal in their driveway, private sidewalks, and other areas where snow’s present.
We provide two different types of snow removal support when it comes to HOA communities. We can provide your home and the area around your home with snow removal, so you don’t have to worry about slipping, sticking, or clearing your driveway ever again!
We also offer our services to HOA boards directly. In this case, we service all the common areas in an HOA community according to that community’s specific rules and regulations for snow maintenance. This may include the snow removal itself, along with salting/sanding the roads and making sure they’re drivable and clear in harsh conditions.
Snow Removal For Municipalities
Most snow removal companies don’t have all-inclusive services when it comes to snow removal for municipalities. However, Burns Tree & Lawn is different. Here’s more info about our snow removal for municipalities.
A municipality is simply an urban town or county that has some type of self-governing agency residing in it. It’s because of these self-governing properties that these towns might need to select snow removal services (or use their own) for their roads, alleyways, and other common areas where residents frequently drive.
As we mentioned earlier, many snow removal companies get a little iffy when it comes to providing their services to municipalities. Not us, though! We’re more than happy to work out a working relationship with any municipality in the areas we service. Not only does this keep us warm and busy during the cold winter season, but it allows us to help serve more people and ultimately keep them safe!
Snow Removal For Churches
We understand that it’s frustrating to not be able to access your place of worship because of a snow storm, which is why we provide professional snow removal services for churches.
Just like our other snow removal services, we’re not afraid to go out in big storms or slippery weather. That’s why we’re here! The typical church parking lots we’ve serviced in the past aren’t difficult for us to manage at all – and even if they were difficult to remove snow from, we love a good challenge.
Additionally, we never discriminate against a place of worship by refusing services. We believe in providing the best possible snow removal to whomever needs it, regardless of your religion.
So if you’re looking for excellent snow removal services and you run a church, give us a call! We’d love to work out a deal with you and provide you with our expert, quick, and best of all safe, snow removal services.
Reliability in Every Flake
Burns Tree & Lawn stands out for its unwavering commitment to timely snow removal, ensuring your property is cleared with precision, no matter the size of the snowfall.
Removal For Parking Lots of All Sizes
Some parking lots are big, and others are small. Some are shaped irregularly, or have obstacles preventing normal snow removal efforts from being successful. We don’t let this get in the way of offering premium snow removal services for parking lots of all types and sizes.
Small Parking Lots
We won’t just ignore a small parking lot because of its small size. We’ll help clear that too!
The great thing about providing a versatile snow removal service is that we’ve got the dedicated workers, knowledge, and equipment possible for each and every job. Maybe we don’t even need a snow plow. In this case, our snow shoveling or snow blowing will suffice and stand in its place.
After carefully removing the snow, we’ll put down rock ice, sand, or another de-ice agent to help keep the ice melted and prevent the roadway or driveway from freezing over.
Big Parking Lots
Big parking lots take a lot of effort and resources to clear properly. Luckily, we have the manpower and will to help clear your parking lot, no matter how big it is.
One big thing that makes many people feel discouraged from snow removal in huge parking lots is the easy accumulation of snow. Whether you’re experiencing heavy snow, light snow, or anything in between, it adds up over time. It starts to get physically heavier, and sticks to the surface because of ice.
We not only take part in the snow plowing of these parking lots, but we melt ice as well. We aren’t just a one-stop shop snow removal company. Our equipment allows us to clear snowfall, ice, sleet, and anything else that prevents people from parking in those big parking lots.
Parking Lots With Obstacles
Does your parking lot feature lots of obstacles such as light poles, shopping cart returns, or other natural features that make it challenging to clear? That’s not an issue for us, either.
This, too, loops back to our expansive use of different snow removal tools! Typically, we’ll start with cleaning the largest areas first by using our snow plows. Then we’ll use a snow blower or snow shovel to clean those hard-to-reach areas that are either too small for our plows or too difficult to get to in a vehicle.
A Quick Note On De-Icing
We want to take a brief moment to talk about de-icing, and how that process works. With snow removal, all you have to do is use a shovel, plow, or blower, and the snow goes away. However, ice works a little differently. Even if you remove the ice, because of the wet area and freezing temperatures, it can grow back. Here are some common combatants used in the fight against ice in the winter.
How It Works
De-icing is simpler than it seems! Essentially, the ice-melting agent that’s placed on the ground helps lower the freezing point of water from 32 degrees Fahrenheit to far below freezing. It’s far more common to see around-freezing temperatures in the winter than extremely cold temperatures in the winter. By lowering the freezing point to extreme temperatures, the water simply doesn’t turn into ice! Cool, huh?
Common Types of De-Icers
There are many different types of de-icing agents used. Here are some of the most widely available ones.
Rock salt, or sodium chloride, is the most common type. If you’ve ever heard loud crunching noises when you pull into a parking lot or maybe even your driveway, it’s likely rock salt. The lowest melting temp for rock salt is typically 15 degrees Fahrenheit.
Magnesium chloride is a little different because it comes in the form of pellets, liquid, or flakes. Typically, it’s used in a blend instead of by itself because of its extremely low melting temp (-10 degrees Fahrenheit).
Calcium chloride can also be bought as pellets, liquid, or flakes. It’s also used in a blend. In fact, its low melting temp is up to -20 degrees Fahrenheit, making it the most ‘hardy’ of the bunch.
It’s important for snow removal companies to be very careful when selecting a type of de-icer. Because different chemicals are used in each de-icer, they’ll react differently on specific types of pavement. The last thing a snow removal company wants to do is put down de-icer that tears up the roads.
Why We’re The Best Reliable Snow Removal Services
There are plenty of reasons why you should choose us for snow plowing. One of the most important is that we are experts. We understand how to perform snow removal on various driveway tops.

A lot of accidents can happen in the driveway. Our removal service keeps your driveway safe. When you step onto it, you will have a better chance of reaching your front door without slipping.
