Frequently asked questions about our services
What is the difference between snow plowing and snow removal?
Snow plowing involves pushing accumulated snow away from driveways, parking areas, roadways, and other surfaces to restore access. Snow removal can involve additional services, including relocating accumulated snow when piles begin taking up valuable space. South Suburban Snow Removal & Landscape provides snow plowing as well as on-site snow relocation services.
When should I schedule snow plowing services?
It's best to arrange snow plowing before winter weather arrives. Scheduling service ahead of the season helps ensure you have a snow removal plan in place when the first significant snowfall occurs.
Do you provide snow removal during snowstorms?
Yes. Our experienced crews use professional snow removal equipment and carefully planned routes to provide timely service during winter weather events. Our goal is to keep properties accessible while efficiently managing snow accumulation.
What happens when there is nowhere left to push the snow?
Large snow piles can reduce usable space and create visibility and accessibility problems. When necessary, South Suburban Snow Removal & Landscape offers on-site snow relocation to move accumulated snow to a more suitable area of the property.
Do you provide ice management in addition to snow plowing?
Yes. Ice management is an important part of keeping outdoor surfaces safer during Chicago winters. We use different ice-management products based on temperatures, surface types, and weather conditions.
Can you help improve an existing landscape?
Yes. You don't need to start from scratch to improve your outdoor space. Services such as fresh mulch, decorative stone, plant installation, shrub trimming, lawn maintenance, and other landscape enhancements can make a noticeable difference in the appearance of an existing property.
Do you install patios and pavers?
Yes. South Suburban Snow Removal & Landscape offers patio and paver installation with numerous design options available to create an outdoor space suited to the property's style and needs.
Can you plant flowers, shrubs, and hedges?
Yes. Our landscaping services include the planting of flowers, shrubs, and hedges. We can help incorporate new plant material into your landscape to improve its appearance and complement the surrounding property.
When is the best time to schedule landscaping?
The ideal timing depends on the type of landscaping work you need. Lawn maintenance and planting may follow seasonal schedules, while projects involving patios, pavers, retaining walls, decorative stone, or landscape improvements can depend on weather and ground conditions. Contact us to discuss your project and scheduling options.
How often should my lawn be mowed?
Mowing frequency depends on the season, grass growth, weather, and overall condition of your lawn. During periods of active growth, regular mowing helps maintain a neat appearance and keeps the lawn from becoming overgrown.
Do you provide fertilization and weed control?
Yes. Fertilization and weed control services are available to help maintain the health and appearance of your lawn. The site notes applications can be performed several times throughout the year depending on the lawn care program.
