Reliable Snow Removal for Des Moines Homeowners
Iowa winters are no joke. Des Moines averages over 33 inches of snow per year, with ice storms and sub-zero temperatures that can make driveways and sidewalks dangerously slippery within hours. You need a snow removal service that responds quickly, communicates clearly, and does the job right.
Central Iowa Lawn Maintenance provides residential snow removal across Des Moines, Urbandale, West Des Moines, Johnston, Grimes, Clive, Waukee, Beaverdale, and Windsor Heights. Our crew monitors Iowa weather forecasts daily and mobilizes quickly after snowfall to get your property cleared and safe. We also offer commercial plowing contracts for larger properties and commercial clients.
Why We Use Snow Blowers Instead of Plows
Many snow removal companies use truck-mounted plows that scrape driveways. While fast, plows frequently crack concrete, chip pavement edges, gouge asphalt, and tear up grass along driveway borders. Over time, this damage costs homeowners hundreds in repairs.
We exclusively use commercial-grade snow blowers and shovels. This approach protects your driveway, sidewalks, and landscaping while still clearing snow thoroughly. After every clearing, we apply salt and snow melt to prevent ice from reforming — keeping your family safe.
What We Clear
Every snow removal visit includes your full driveway, all sidewalks and walkways, front steps, back deck access, and entryways. We clear snow from around mailboxes and garbage cans on request. Paths to detached garages, sheds, or secondary structures can be added to your service plan.
24-Hour Winter Customer Service
From November through March, our customer service line is available 24 hours a day. When a winter storm hits Des Moines, you can reach us by phone at (515) 238-6730 or by text. We'll let you know approximately when your property will be cleared, and we communicate proactively if conditions change.
Sign Up Before the First Snow
We recommend signing up for seasonal snow removal before the first snowfall to lock in your rate and guarantee priority service. Seasonal customers always get cleared first after a storm. Contact us now for a free, no-obligation quote.
