South Shore snow removal for lakefront blocks

Seasonal and on-demand snow plowing, shoveling, and salting for Chicago’s South Shore neighborhood, covering South Shore Drive, Jeffery Boulevard, and 71st Street corridors.

Focused coverage for South Shore streets

South Shore’s proximity to Lake Michigan means fast-moving lake-effect bands that drop heavy, wet snow on South Shore Drive, Jeffery Boulevard, and the residential streets feeding the Cultural Center and Rainbow Beach. We map each property to account for one-way traffic patterns, Metra Electric crossings, and school zones near Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Paideia Academy.

Crews use compact plow trucks for tight gangways and rear parking pads while shovel teams tackle stoops, walkways, and basement stairwells. De-icing materials are calibrated for historic limestone steps and church entrances along 75th Street to avoid surface damage.

Storm monitoring tailored to the lakefront

We monitor forecasts from the National Weather Service, shoreline temperature buoys, and live feeds from Midway Airport to anticipate sudden shifts in wind direction. When radar shows snow bands redeveloping over the lake, we dispatch additional crews from our Calumet staging yard to cover apartment towers near 71st Street and commercial corridors around Stony Island Avenue.

Seasonal contracts include pre-storm brining for long stretches of sidewalk near the South Shore Cultural Center and CPD District 3. After the initial push, supervisors revisit properties to clear municipal windrows and ensure fire hydrants and curb cuts remain visible for emergency vehicles.

Documentation for associations and small businesses

We deliver timestamped service logs after every visit, outlining snow totals, crew arrival and departure times, and the materials applied. Condominium boards along South Bennett Avenue and small business owners on 79th Street rely on those records to prove compliance with Chicago’s sidewalk clearing ordinance.

Need flexible billing? We offer seasonal invoices, per-event pricing, and emergency rates so you can protect South Shore residents, congregations, and visitors without surprise costs.
