Services in detail
Owners and property managers must ensure that paths and access routes are safe to walk on in snow and ice. Many municipalities also transfer the duty to clear and grit public pavements to the adjacent property owners.
You can transfer this duty to us by contract. To do so, we agree in advance which areas we clear and grit, and in what order.
A clear demarcation is important: which areas are part of the contract, which does the municipality clear, and which paths have lower priority? We record these points in a site plan, which you receive before the season starts. That way, everyone involved can see what we are responsible for.
