SNOW REMOVAL: The community contracts for snow removal based on a contracted snow amount. We make the call storm, by storm. Typically, we will plow at 3" and up. Crews do a plow of the driveways and front steps by hand. They will not do around cars in the driveway due to liability risk with the plow. Homeowners are responsible for the sidewalks in front of their home.


Snow will be removed as quickly as possible but can take up to 48 hours depending on the severity of the event. Crews may work through the night to finish, unless bitter cold temps are forecast.  Please be patient and allow the snow to stop and the crew plenty of time to get to the community. 

We will update the Community News page as things progress and will let the community know once they are finished. At that time, you can contact us with issues or missed driveways. Please give them sufficient time to work before contacting the board.  If you do not want your driveway and sidewalk cleared, there is a system using red reflectors. More info here.
