What a Commercial Snow Removal Job Looks Like in Mondovi

Main Street is the commercial core, running along the highway through town, with the banks, the pharmacy, the grocery and the clinic strung along it or one street off.

The larger story is freight. A truckload carrier is headquartered in Mondovi and employs several hundred people here, which means yard and lot surface built for tractor units rather than cars. That's a different specification from anything else in a town this size: heavier section, wider turning radii, and failure that shows up as rutting long before it shows up as a hole.

Commercial Snow Removal specifically in Mondovi

Snow plowing is centered on Eau Claire, and Mondovi is a drive out. Ask rather than assume. What's true about the ground here is that it's valley country with real grade, so a drive that's fine to walk in November is a different proposition in February.

The Lots and Surfaces in Mondovi

Mondovi sits in Buffalo County on the Buffalo River, where Highways 10 and 37 meet, in valley ground rather than on the flat. It's the westernmost city we hold a page for and the ground here's Driftless: cut valleys, real grade, and drives that run downhill more often than they run level.

Mondovi

We work the whole village rather than a named handful of neighborhoods.

Around Mondovi: Main Street, Buffalo River, Mondovi High School.

Standard 48-inch frost depth. Valley position means cold air settles here at night, so an early or late-season pour has a narrower daily window than it does on the flat.

Plowing is where a lot of asphalt damage comes from.

A blade set too low scrapes the surface and takes the sealer with it. A blade that catches a catch basin frame lifts it, and now you have a spring repair. Piling snow in the wrong corner means meltwater runs across the lot and refreezes where people walk, and then does the freeze-thaw cycle to your asphalt fifty times over one winter in exactly the same spot. None of that is difficult to avoid. It takes knowing the pavement, which is the same knowledge the rest of this site is about.

Questions We Get in Mondovi

What Mondovi calls us about, answered straight.

More questions answered
Our yard is used by tractor units. Is that the same job as a parking lot?
No, and it's worth saying so up front. A yard that takes loaded trailers needs a heavier section and wider turning room, and it fails as rutting in a repeated wheel path long before it fails as a hole. By the time the rutting shows, the base underneath has usually moved too, so those are full-depth repairs rather than surface ones.
Does the valley position change when you can work here?
It narrows the daily window rather than the season. Cold air settles in the valley overnight, so an early-spring or late-fall job here has fewer usable hours in the day than the same date would on the flat. It doesn't rule the work out. It does mean the date is worth settling early rather than assuming.
Do you plow residential driveways?
Yes. Driveways, parking lots and walkways, residential and commercial, around Eau Claire.
When should I line up snow plowing?
Before the snow flies. Call, tell us about the property, and we'll talk through what it needs for the winter.
Does plowing damage asphalt?
It can, and most of the damage is avoidable. A blade set too low scrapes the surface and takes the sealer with it, which undoes in one pass what sealing was meant to protect. A blade that catches the lip of a catch basin frame lifts it, and that becomes a spring repair rather than a winter inconvenience. Neither is difficult to avoid; both come down to knowing what is under the snow.
Why does the ice sheet form in the same corner every year?
Because that is where the snow gets piled and that is where the meltwater runs. A pile put in the wrong corner sends water back across the lot, where it refreezes overnight and thaws again the next afternoon. That spot then takes the freeze-thaw cycle dozens of times in a single winter while the rest of the lot takes it a handful, which is why one area ages faster than everything around it.
We just had the lot sealed. Can it be plowed this winter?
Yes, once it has cured, and a sealed surface actually plows better than a raw one because the blade rides on a tighter surface. What matters is blade height and what the plow is riding on: fresh sealer scraped by steel set too low comes off in strips. Shoes or a rubber edge deal with that, and they are worth asking about whoever does the plowing.
Does road salt damage asphalt?
Salt does far less to asphalt than it does to concrete, which is worth knowing before anybody spends money on the wrong problem. What salt really does to a lot is keep the surface wet and cycling through freezing rather than letting it stay frozen. Water in an open crack, freezing and thawing repeatedly, is what actually takes pavement apart. Sealed surfaces and filled cracks are the defense, not a different de-icer.
What does a plow do to a catch basin?
Finds it, usually the hard way. A basin frame that has settled below the asphalt catches a blade coming across it, and a frame that has been lifted proud of the surface catches it harder. Either way the impact loosens the collar around the structure, water gets under it, and by spring the ring of asphalt around the rim is coming apart. A basin that is level with the surface going into winter is the cheapest thing you can do about that.
Should we mark the edges of the lot before winter?
It helps, and it is what stops an edge getting broken off. Asphalt is at its weakest at the edge because there is nothing beside it holding it in, and a blade that runs off the pavement into the grass takes a piece of the edge with it. Markers at the corners, at the catch basins and along any island cost almost nothing and save the repair.
