Austin is the county seat of Mower County in southeastern Minnesota, situated along the Cedar River about 45 miles southeast of Owatonna. Known as the home of Hormel Foods, Austin is a vibrant city with a diverse population and strong economic base. Winter in Austin brings an average of 40-55 inches of snowfall, along with ice storms, freezing rain, and sub-zero temperatures that can make properties hazardous. Proactive snow management is not a luxury in Mower County — it is a necessity for safety and liability protection.

Our snow plowing fleet includes trucks equipped with commercial-grade plows, salt spreaders, and sanding equipment. We deploy resources based on storm intensity and forecast, and our radio-dispatch system ensures efficient routing across our service area, including Austin. When a storm triggers our activation threshold, crews are on the road clearing properties — often before you wake up.

For commercial clients in Austin, we offer seasonal snow management contracts that provide priority service, guaranteed response times, and predictable monthly billing. These contracts typically cover plowing, salting, sidewalk shoveling, and ice melt application for the entire winter season. Many Austin business owners and property managers prefer this approach because it eliminates billing surprises and ensures their properties are always cleared promptly.

Residential snow plowing is available on both a seasonal contract and per-push basis for Austin homeowners. We clear driveways, turnarounds, and walkways efficiently, and we take care to avoid damage to lawn edges, mailboxes, and landscaping features.

The Cedar River corridor gives Austin properties unique drainage considerations, and the city's southeastern location means slightly different weather patterns than central Minnesota. Our experienced crews adapt service plans accordingly.

From the neighborhoods surrounding Todd Park to the commercial corridors along Main Street and Oakland Avenue, Austin property owners count on scheduled grounds maintenance to protect their investments.

Ice management is a critical component of our winter services. We apply rock salt, treated salt, and sand/salt blends depending on temperature, surface type, and environmental considerations. Our crew members are trained to apply the right product at the right rate for effective de-icing without excessive material use.
