Does the city require sidewalks to be cleared?

Ohio has no statewide sidewalk shoveling law, so each city and village sets its own rule. In Medina, the city ordinance requires owners and occupiers next to a sidewalk to keep it free from snow; see the Medina snow removal page. Check your own city or village for its rule.

How early can sidewalks be cleared?

Contractors schedule sidewalk crews around your opening time. Overnight storms are often cleared in the early morning so walks are open before customers or staff arrive. Put the time you need in your quote request.

Can sidewalk crews also clear ramps and accessible parking?

Accessible ramps, curb cuts and the access aisles next to accessible parking spaces are usually part of a commercial sidewalk scope. List them in your request so they are cleared and treated on every visit.

How is sidewalk snow removal priced?

It is usually priced per visit or per season, based on how many feet of walk, steps and ramps there are and how quickly they must be clear. Ice melt can be included or billed per application.

What does sidewalk snow removal include?

Crews clear the walking areas a plow truck cannot reach: public sidewalks along the property, building entrances, steps, accessible ramps and curb cuts. Most visits end with ice melt on the cleared surface.

Why do businesses hire sidewalk crews separately?

Plow trucks and sidewalk crews use different equipment, and walks often need clearing at different times than the lot, such as just before opening. Many commercial agreements list sidewalk work as its own line so the scope is clear.
