Winter Services

Snow removal in Hastings, MN

Dependable driveway and sidewalk clearing and ice control for homeowners in Hastings and the surrounding communities.

What's Included

Winter, handled

Minnesota winters don't wait for a convenient time. When the snow piles up we clear it, and when it turns to ice we treat it, so your morning starts in the car and not behind a shovel.

Driveways

Cleared end to end so you can pull out without plowing through a windrow first.

Sidewalks & Walkways

Safe footing to your door for your family, your mail carrier, and your guests.

Ice Control

Salt and grit where it counts, applied by a Certified Smart Salter so you get traction without dumping chloride on your yard.

Every property is different. We'll confirm exactly what's included for yours when we put together your quote.

Certified Smart Salter

Ecosnow Services completed the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's Smart Salting training for parking lots and sidewalks. It is about using the least salt that will actually clear the ice, which keeps your walkways safe and keeps chloride out of the lakes and streams it all drains into.

The Process

How it works

Getting set up takes one conversation. After that we watch the forecast, so the first you hear about a storm is a cleared driveway.

  1. Request your free quote

    Tell us about your property through our contact page or over the phone. It only takes a few minutes.

  2. We build your winter plan

    We confirm what gets cleared, where the snow goes, and what you can expect from us before the first flake falls.

  3. Snow falls, we go to work

    We track every storm and run our routes once the snow lets up, so your property is handled without a phone call.

  4. You get your day back

    No shoveling before work, no sore back after. That part of winter is our job now.

There is a little you can do on your end. Our snow blowing guide covers where to park and how much clearance our equipment needs, so we can clear the whole driveway on the first pass.

Common questions

What areas do you serve for snow removal?

We provide residential snow removal throughout Hastings, Cottage Grove, Woodbury, St. Paul Park, Afton, Eagan, and Inver Grove Heights, MN, plus Prescott, WI. Hastings is our home base, so most of our routes are close by. If your property is near one of these communities but you're not sure you're in range, reach out and we'll confirm whether we can take you on.

What does your snow removal service include?

Our core work is clearing driveways and sidewalks so you can get in and out safely after a snowfall, plus ice control on the surfaces that need it. Every property is laid out differently, so when we prepare your quote we'll confirm exactly which surfaces are included and where the snow goes. If you have a special request, just ask; we'd rather plan for it up front.

Do you salt or apply ice melt?

Yes. Clearing the snow is only half the job when a driveway or a walkway glazes over. Ecosnow Services completed the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's Smart Salting training for parking lots and sidewalks, so we treat for traction using the least product that will actually do the work. Over-salting damages concrete and lawns and runs straight into local water, and it does not melt ice any faster.

How soon after it snows will my driveway be cleared?

We watch every storm and start our routes once the snow lets up, so you aren't left waiting long after a storm ends. Exact timing depends on how much snow falls and how long the storm lasts, and we'll set clear expectations for your property when you sign up.

How does pricing work for snow removal?

Every driveway is different. Length, layout, and where the snow can go all affect the work, so we quote each property individually instead of using a one-size-fits-all rate. Quotes are free and come with no obligation. Request one through our contact page or give us a call at (651) 337-9309, and we'll get you a straightforward answer.

Do you offer lawn care as well?

Yes. The same local crew that clears snow in the winter handles mowing and lawn care through the growing season. Many customers bundle the two so one company they already trust covers their property year-round. Take a look at our lawn care page, or mention both services when you request your quote.
