A snow contract is a promise about time. Everything else — the equipment, the salt, the crew — exists to keep it.
Three numbers decide whether a contract works
The trigger depth, the completion window, and what happens during a storm that runs for two days. If a quote does not state all three in numbers, it is not a commitment. Ours does.
Salt is not free and it is not harmless
Over-salting damages concrete, kills the grass along the edge of the driveway and washes into the storm system. Below about u221210 u00b0C plain rock salt stops working at all, and more of it changes nothing. We use the right product for the temperature rather than the cheapest one by volume.
