Snow Removal Services
The DT Snow Removal Team is made up of reliable, professional people, paid a livable wage, not high school students or cheapest labor. And you won’t see heavy equipment or a snow plow truck but light-impat equipment like snow blowers and UTVs - perfect for keeping your home safe without damaging concrete, curbs, or the edges of your lawn.
Our goal is to leave your driveway and walkways safe and unharmed.
Service Details:
Before the snow flies: Our team will be out to install snow removal markers to help prevent damage to areas that don’t need snow removal (seasonal package only).
Snow Removal Start: From November 15th through April 1st, snow removal service begins once the snowfall has stopped and accumulated more than 2 inches.
Completion Timeline: Our team works to have snow clear within 12 hours for standard snowfalls, and up to 24 hours for accumulations over 8 inches.
No Plows or Blades: We use high-end snow blowers with shovels and small tractors as needed; no scraping but the same results - cleared, safe, and bare concrete.
Two Ways to Stay Safe: We offer snow removal with ice management service or a separate services for all types of winter storms (see below!).
Excessive Snowfall: If it snows more than 8 inches in one event, there will be an additional $35 fee.

Why Choose Double Take for Your Ice Management?
Effective ice management is more than a convenience but about creating a safe environment during the winter.
NEW THIS YEAR:
Our team will be adding salt brine treatments to our snow removal service.
What is Liquid De-Icer Salt Brine?
Liquid treatment made from 100% natural minerals mixed with water and additives
Lower freezing point (-20 degrees F) than rock salt
Used before snow, sleet, or freezing rain reduces snow and ice from sticking to the ground
Used after snow or ice sticks to the surface, de-ices surfaces and prevents refreezing
Salt Brine vs Rock Salt:
Rock salt is only able to be applied right before or just after snow or ice has stuck; salt brine can be applied from 3 days to 1 hour before a winter storm.
Rock salt gets tracked inside; salt brine stays on the ground.
Rock salt can damage your concrete driveway, burn your lawn, and hurt your pets; salt brine is safe because it has lower levels of toxicity (lower than baking soda!)
Are you a business owner or commercial landlord?
Our salt brine application packages are great at helping keep parking lots and walkways safe in the winter. This helps prepare your areas for forecasted freezing precipitation, including snow, and after the snow has been cleared to help prevent refreezing. You can also reduce maintenance costs by not having to replace, repair, or simply have a continuous clean-up due to rock salt inside your building.
If you currently have a snow removal service, this is a great complement to it. It helps your business stay safer and helps your snow removal service be more efficient. Win-win!
Only available in East Des Moines or NW Pleasant Hill areas. See below for specifications.
You can request salt brine application as a stand-alone service or have it already included in a seasonal package (residential only). This can mean having our team put down a pretreatment before any winter storm, ice or snow, after as a post-treatment, or both!
We proudly serve the following locations:
East Des Moines, IA: Those between 235 and NE 56th and Dean Ave to Aurora Ave
Pleasant Hill, IA: from E Oakwood Dr to NE 23rd Ave and Christie Ln to NE 56th St
