Reliable Driveway Snow Plowing for Local Homes
Residential snow plowing is about more than just pushing snow to the side. Proper technique, timing, and equipment all play a role in protecting your driveway surface while ensuring thorough removal. Our experienced operators use professional-grade plows suited for residential properties, allowing us to clear snow efficiently without damaging paver brick, concrete, or asphalt surfaces.Because Bernardin’s Landscaping has decades of experience in paver brick design and installation—including award-winning Belgard hardscape projects—we understand how to protect decorative driveways and entryways during winter service. Careful blade adjustments and strategic snow placement help prevent surface scratching, edge damage, and drainage blockages.
We focus on:
- Clearing driveways from garage to street
- Opening safe entry and exit points
- Managing snow placement to avoid refreezing hazards
- Maintaining access during ongoing storms
Our goal is to minimize disruption while maximizing safety and accessibility.
Sidewalk & Walkway Snow Removal
Slippery walkways are one of the biggest winter safety concerns for homeowners. In addition to driveway plowing, we clear sidewalks, front entry paths, and connecting walkways to reduce the risk of slips and falls. Snow accumulation around steps, stoops, and paver walkways can quickly become dangerous — especially during overnight freezing. Our crews carefully remove snow from high-traffic pedestrian areas and apply appropriate ice management materials when needed. Because every property is different, we tailor our service approach based on layout, drainage patterns, and surface materials.Whether you have a traditional concrete walk or a decorative paver entrance, we take extra care to preserve the integrity of your hardscape while keeping it functional through the winter months.
Seasonal Snow Plowing Contracts
Illinois winters are unpredictable. Some seasons bring steady light snow, while others deliver heavy accumulation and repeated storms. To eliminate uncertainty, many homeowners choose seasonal residential snow plowing contracts.With a seasonal agreement, you gain:
- Priority service during storms
- Automatic dispatch once snowfall reaches trigger depth
- Consistent, reliable service throughout the winter
- Budget predictability with one contracted rate
This proactive approach ensures your property is addressed promptly without the need to call after every storm. For busy families, professionals, and elderly homeowners, having a dependable snow removal partner provides valuable peace of mind.
Protecting Your Landscape & Hardscape During Winter
Snow removal requires careful coordination to avoid damage to turf areas, plant beds, edging, and hardscape features. With over six decades of landscaping and hardscape experience in Mokena, Bernardin’s understands how to manage snow responsibly.We identify appropriate snow stacking areas to prevent turf suffocation and minimize salt exposure to planting beds. Our knowledge of landscape design — guided by Cathy Sanchez’s horticultural expertise — allows us to protect sensitive plant material and decorative elements throughout the winter season.
