Driveways
The first callPushed open early, banked where the piles will not blind you pulling out, and cleared again at the road apron after the county plow comes through and fills it back in.
Ask about your drive →Snow plowing in Kalispell and the Flathead Valley.
Driveways pushed open, walkways and steps cleared, small commercial lots kept usable. The same person who knows where your sprinkler heads are in July is the one behind the blade in January.
First light, first pass
It falls at two in the morning. That is the job.
Nobody in the Flathead gets a polite eight inches on a Saturday afternoon. It comes overnight, it comes sideways, and the question is only whether your driveway is open before you have to be somewhere.
It starts while you are asleep.
Valley storms load up overnight and quit around dawn. A driveway that gets pushed once at four in the morning takes ten minutes. The same driveway after the sun softens it, a car packs it down and the night refreezes it takes an hour and a scraper.
The middle first, then the edges.
The blade goes down the center of the drive and rolls the snow outward, so nothing gets stacked against the garage door or shoved into the lawn where it will kill the turf by April. The apron at the road gets opened last, because the county plow is going to fill it back in once more.
Down to the concrete, not close to it.
A quarter inch of packed snow left behind turns into a sheet of ice the second the sun touches it and the temperature drops back. The walk, the steps and the path to the door get cleared to the surface, because that is where people actually fall.
Three things, cleared to the surface.
Walkways & Steps
Where people fallThe front walk, the steps, the path from the drive to the door. Cleared down to the surface, not to a packed layer that turns into a skating rink by the afternoon.
Ask about your walk →Small Commercial Lots
Open before you openThe storefront apron, the office lot, the six stalls behind the shop. Small properties that a big contract outfit never gets to until noon.

Plowed clean, not plowed close.
The difference between a driveway that is cleared and a driveway that is nearly cleared shows up two days later, when the packed layer you left has melted, run to the low spot, and frozen into the exact strip of concrete you have to walk across carrying groceries.
Get on the list before the first storm. The people who call in November are the ones who are not standing in a foot of snow calling strangers in December.

One number for the grass and the snow. Call it, or text it if he is out behind the blade.

What people ask before the first storm.
How much snow before he comes?
That is yours to set. Tell Kyler the depth you want him rolling on when you call, and whether you need the drive open before a certain hour. A steep drive and a flat one do not want the same trigger.
Do you clear walkways and steps, or only the driveway?
Walkways too. The drive gets you out, but the walk and the steps are what the mail carrier, the meter reader and your parents use, and they are where somebody actually falls.
Where does the snow end up?
Banked where it will not blind you pulling out of your own driveway and not on top of the mailbox. It matters more than people think by February, because every pile you make in December is still there in March, and the wrong pile is the one that melts back across the concrete and freezes overnight.
Do you plow small commercial lots?
Yes. Small lots, storefront aprons and the handful of stalls behind a shop. Call (406) 261-5296 and tell him what the property is and when it needs to be open.
Is it the same person who mows in the summer?
Yes. That is the whole point of this business. Kyler already knows where your sprinkler heads are, where the drive drops off into the lawn, and which side of the walk holds ice.
