We plow parking lots, clear sidewalks and entrances, and set up a plan for your site before the first storm. Your price is built from your lot size, your walks and the service level you need. Call (330) 353-9809 for a free site walk and quote.
We are a locally owned Warren company, started in 2012 by Fernando Phillips after years in the lawn care business. Lawn and landscaping was our first line of work, so we treat your curbs, islands and turf like the grounds they are, not just pavement to scrape.
What Our Commercial Snow Removal Covers
A commercial lot has to be open, safe and usable when your first employee or customer pulls in. Commercial snow removal from Phillips Care is built around that:
- Parking lot plowing, including drive lanes, stalls and the entrance from the street
- Sidewalk snow removal along storefronts, building entrances and walkways
- Salting and de-icing of lots, walks and steps to keep ice from forming
- Snow piled in marked zones, away from fire lanes, drains, hydrants and handicap spaces
Who We Plow For
Every site has a different deadline. We plan around yours.
- Businesses and offices that need the lot open before staff arrive
- Churches that need the lot and walks clear before Sunday services and weekday events
- Property managers with apartment, rental and multi-unit lots where tenants leave early for work
- Medical and professional offices where patients and clients walk from the car to the door
- Retail and service shops that lose customers when the lot looks closed
For most property managers, the snow is not the hard part. The phone calls are. A tenant slips on an icy walk, a delivery truck cannot get in, a board member asks why the lot was still white at 7am. Commercial snow removal done right means those calls stop, because the site is handled the same way every storm and you have a plan in writing to point to.
Snow Removal Contracts: Seasonal, Per Push or Per Event
Most commercial snow plowing is sold on one of three contract types. The right one depends on your budget and how much risk you want to carry in a heavy winter.
| Contract | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Seasonal | One set price for the season, billed on a schedule | Sites that want a fixed winter budget |
| Per push | Billed each time the lot is plowed | Sites that only want to pay when it snows |
| Per event | Billed per storm, covering every visit that storm needs | Sites that want storms covered start to finish |
Every snow removal contract we write spells out the trigger depth, what gets cleared, the order it gets cleared in and where the snow goes.
How We Bid a Commercial Snow Plowing Job
There is no flat rate for a parking lot. A fair commercial snow removal bid comes from walking the site. These are the things that set the price:
- Square footage of the lot and how many stalls and drive lanes it has
- Curbs, islands, light poles, speed bumps and other obstacles
- Length of sidewalks, ramps and steps that need clearing
- Salting or de-icing, and how often it is needed
- The hours the lot must be open and how fast it has to be cleared
- Room on site for piles, or the need to move snow elsewhere
- Contract type and the trigger depth you choose
You get the bid in writing, with the same scope your staff or board can check against all winter.
Setting Up Your Site Before Winter
The best commercial snow removal is planned in the fall, not the night of the first storm. A site walk in October or November takes less than an hour and saves a winter of guesswork.
- 01
Site walk
We walk the lot and walks with you or your manager and note every curb, drain, hydrant, fire lane and handicap space.
- 02
Site map
We mark pile zones, the clearing order and any spots to avoid, so every storm is handled the same way.
- 03
Written plan and price
You get the scope, the contract type and the price in writing before the season starts.
- 04
Storm service
When snow reaches your trigger depth, we clear the site, including early-morning and overnight plowing so the lot is open when you are.
One Call for the Lot and the Inside
The same owner runs a commercial janitorial company. If you want one local vendor for the whole building, ask about commercial cleaning from our sister company, Phillips Care Cleaning. One owner, one phone number, one less vendor to chase. The lot gets plowed and the floors that slush gets tracked onto get cleaned by the same company.
For the warmer months, our commercial landscaping and grounds care keeps the same site looking sharp from spring to fall.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you bid commercial snow removal?
We start with a site walk. We measure the lot, count stalls and drive lanes, note curbs, islands and obstacles, and walk every sidewalk, ramp and step that needs clearing. Then we factor in salting or de-icing, the hours the lot must be open, room for snow piles and the contract type you want. You get a written bid with the scope spelled out, so you know exactly what you are paying for before the season starts.
What does a commercial snow removal contract include?
A good contract names the areas to be cleared, the trigger depth that starts a visit, the clearing order, where snow gets piled, whether salting is included and how billing works. It should also say what happens when drifting or a city plow closes the entrance after the lot is done. If any of those are missing from a bid you are comparing, ask before you sign. Ours puts all of it in writing.
Is a seasonal contract or per push better for a business?
A seasonal contract gives you one known cost for the winter, which is easier to budget and puts your site on a set route. Per push means you only pay when it snows, so a light winter costs less, but a heavy one costs more. Many property managers prefer seasonal for that reason. We go over both when we quote, using your lot size and how your site is used.
What should you avoid when plowing a parking lot?
The common mistakes are piling snow on handicap spaces, fire lanes, storm drains or hydrants, pushing snow into the street, blocking the sight lines drivers need at the entrance, and leaving walks for later while the lot gets cleared. Piles also melt and refreeze, so where they sit matters for ice in the lot. A site map made before winter prevents most of these problems.
Can you clear a church lot before Sunday services?
Yes. Church lots have a hard deadline, and we plan around it. During the site walk we note your service times and weekday events, then set the clearing order so the main entrance, the walks and accessible parking are done first. Your plan is in writing, so your board knows what to expect every storm.
Can the same company clean our building?
Yes. Our sister company, Phillips Care Cleaning, handles commercial janitorial work, and it has the same owner. Businesses and property managers can have the lot plowed and the inside cleaned by one company, with one phone number to call. Ask about both when you request your quote, and we will set up the site walk and the cleaning walkthrough for the same visit if that is easier for you.
