Snow Removal Services in Lakewood, CO
Snow Removal in Lakewood
Lakewood sits along the foothills west of Denver, and many properties feature sloped driveways that become treacherous during winter storms. Neighborhoods near Green Mountain and Bear Creek experience shaded, north-facing slopes where ice lingers for days after a storm, creating ongoing hazards. The combination of elevation changes and limited sun exposure means that standard clearing is often not enough without proper de-icing treatment. Summit Landscaping Denver provides snow removal across Lakewood with equipment and techniques suited for inclined surfaces, including controlled plowing to prevent snow from piling against garage doors at the bottom of steep driveways. We also apply targeted ice melt on shaded areas that would otherwise stay frozen well into the following week.
Local Challenges We Address
- Sloped driveways near Green Mountain become dangerously icy and require careful plowing technique to avoid pushing snow into garage entrances.
- North-facing slopes and shaded areas retain ice for days after storms, creating persistent slip hazards.
- Bear Creek area properties often have longer, winding driveways that take more time and equipment to clear properly.
Local Tip: If your Lakewood driveway faces north or sits in the shadow of Green Mountain, request a post-storm ice treatment. Standard clearing alone will not prevent refreeze on shaded slopes.

"Our Green Mountain property had terrible drainage and a slope that was eroding badly. Summit built a beautiful retaining wall system and regraded the entire yard. Two years later, everything is holding perfectly."

Snow Removal in Lakewood FAQs
Lakewood snow removal pricing starts at $55 per visit for flat driveways and increases for steeply sloped or longer driveways. Seasonal contracts range from $450 to $950 depending on property characteristics. Properties near Green Mountain with steep grades may require specialized equipment, which can add $20 to $40 per visit. We provide free on-site estimates so there are no surprises.
We use a combination of careful plow technique and pre-treatment to manage Lakewood slopes safely. On steep driveways, we plow downhill in controlled passes to avoid snow buildup at the base near garage doors. After clearing, we apply magnesium chloride de-icer that works effectively even in shaded conditions. For persistent ice on north-facing surfaces, we can schedule follow-up treatments between storms to maintain traction.
Magnesium chloride is our go-to product for Lakewood because it remains effective at lower temperatures common near the foothills and is less damaging to concrete and vegetation than rock salt. For heavily shaded areas, we sometimes use a calcium chloride blend for faster melting action. Both options are safe for pets and will not harm nearby plants or grass when applied at proper rates. We adjust the product and application rate based on the specific conditions at your property.
Seasonal contracts are highly recommended for Lakewood properties, especially those with sloped driveways or north-facing exposure. These properties need consistent attention throughout winter, not just after major storms. A contract guarantees priority service and typically saves 20 to 30 percent compared to per-visit pricing over a full season. We begin accepting contracts in September and recommend signing before October to secure your preferred route position.
