ππ» SPOOKY SEASON IS HEREβ¦ BUT THE SCARIEST PART OF WINTER ISN'T THE SNOW! βοΈπ
As Halloween approaches, there's something far more frightening than ghosts and goblins for those of us in the snow and ice management industryβ¦
THE RISING COST OF KEEPING PROPERTIES SAFE AND ACCESSIBLE! π§π°
Rock salt, equipment, labor, insurance, maintenance, and the resources required to operate a dependable snow and ice management operation continue to put pressure on contractors across Western New York.
And while everyone hopes for a mild winter, hoping isn't a snow and ice management strategy!
At Genesee Valley Landscape Co. Inc., we're already investing heavily in preparation for the upcoming 2026β2027 winter season.
π Our fleet of plow trucks, loaders, skid steers, snow pushers, sidewalk machines, and salt spreaders is being inspected, serviced, and prepared.
π§ Our first deliveries of bulk rock salt from American Rock Salt have begun arriving at our storage facility, with additional deliveries planned to help secure the material inventory our customers depend on.
π· Our management team, production personnel, and fleet mechanic are working behind the scenes to ensure our equipment, staffing, and operational plans are ready long before the first snowflake falls.
But here's what should REALLY scare commercial property owners and managersβ¦ π¨π
Hiring a snow and ice management contractor based solely on the lowest price, without considering whether they're actually equipped and financially prepared to deliver the services they've promised.
When winter weather strikes, your business, employees, customers, tenants, and visitors are depending on someone to show up.
Before choosing your snow contractor, ask yourself:
βοΈ Do they have backup equipment when something breaks down at 3 AM?
βοΈ Have they secured adequate salt inventory, or will they be scrambling for materials during a shortage?
βοΈ Are they properly insured and experienced in managing commercial properties?
βοΈ Do they have the personnel, equipment, and financial resources to handle prolonged winter weather events?
βοΈ Will they proactively manage changing conditions, or will you be chasing them down when your property needs attention?
A low-priced contract can become a very expensive decision when service falls short.
At Genesee Valley Landscape, we understand that snow and ice management is about much more than pushing snow and spreading salt. It's about reducing liability exposure, maintaining accessibility, protecting your property, and keeping your operations moving.
We proudly serve commercial, industrial, healthcare, retail, and multi-property clients throughout the Genesee Valley, Finger Lakes, and Western New York regions.
Our customers aren't simply purchasing snow removal. They're investing in preparation, reliability, accountability, and peace of mind.
π THIS HALLOWEEN, DON'T LET YOUR SNOW CONTRACTOR BE THE SCARIEST PART OF YOUR WINTER!
We're continuing to finalize our 2026β2027 commercial snow and ice management routes. If your property is still looking for a dependable winter service partner, now is the time to reach out!
