Commercial Snow Removal in Anchorage, Alaska

Reliable, Efficient, and Professional Snow Management 

With over 40 years of dedicated experience in Anchorage, Alaska, and surrounding areas, including Fairbanks, College, Beaver Creek, Burwash Landing, Bethel, Dawson City, and Kongiganak, Blizzard Snow Plowing has become a trusted name in commercial snow removal. Operating in one of the snowiest regions of the United States, where winters can bring heavy snowfall and hazardous ice buildup, we understand the unique challenges faced by local businesses. Whether it's a retail center, a warehouse in the industrial district, or a healthcare facility, reliable snow management isn’t just a convenience—it’s a necessity.


Anchorage’s snowfall often begins as early as October and can continue into April, bringing an average of over 75 inches annually. Without timely snow removal, commercial properties can quickly become inaccessible, posing risks to employees, customers, and infrastructure. Parking lots, driveways, loading docks, and pedestrian walkways need constant monitoring and rapid service to remain operational. That’s where Blizzard Snow Plowing steps in.


Our professional team uses advanced snow plowing equipment, loaders, snow blowers, and de-icing systems to clear your property quickly and thoroughly. With decades of experience in the harsh Alaskan climate, we’re equipped to deliver consistent results even during severe weather conditions. We offer flexible service plans—from one-time clearings to full-season contracts—tailored to your property’s layout and your business hours. Each project is approached with careful planning, risk mitigation, and safety compliance in mind.

Our Commercial Snow Removal Services

1.

We provide plowing and hauling for large parking lots, access roads, and commercial sites. Our fleet includes heavy-duty trucks, front-end loaders, and skid steers, all capable of efficiently relocating and removing large volumes of snow. Snow is cleared to designated zones or removed entirely to prevent buildup and preserve visibility.

2.

Ice Control & De-Icing Treatments

Slippery surfaces are hazardous for both pedestrians and vehicles. We utilize environmentally responsible salt, brine, and calcium chloride treatments specifically designed for extreme winter conditions. These solutions are applied strategically to prevent ice formation and ensure continued surface safety before, during, and after freeze-thaw cycles.

3.

Sidewalk & Entryway Clearing

Building entrances, pedestrian walkways, ramps, and loading docks are given special attention to ensure safe foot traffic. Our teams perform both mechanical and manual clearing, followed by spot de-icing where necessary. We focus on high-traffic areas where accessibility and appearance matter most to your business.

4.

We continuously monitor real-time weather patterns and precipitation levels using advanced forecasting tools. When snow activity is imminent or underway, our teams are mobilized promptly. This proactive approach minimizes disruption and ensures prompt service before accumulation becomes a hazard to operations.

5.

Seasonal Contracts

Our seasonal snow removal packages provide comprehensive coverage for the entire winter season. Each plan is customized based on your property’s size, layout, and hours of operation. Clients receive consistent service with fixed pricing, priority response, and peace of mind during every snow event.

6.

Emergency Snow Removal

For unplanned snow events, rapid accumulation, or post-storm recovery, we provide emergency snow removal. Our crews are on standby to address urgent service calls when conditions exceed standard scheduling. This ensures critical access points and operations are restored without delay.

Benefits of Commercial Snow Removal Services

Enhanced Safety and Reduced Liability

Professional snow removal significantly lowers the risk of slip-and-fall incidents and vehicle accidents by keeping walkways, driveways, and parking areas clear. This proactive safety measure helps protect customers, employees, and vendors while reducing potential legal exposure due to weather-related injuries.

 Improved Accessibility and Customer Experience

Clear, snow-free access points ensure that your business remains open and approachable, even during extreme weather. A well-maintained exterior provides a more inviting experience for customers, supports staff productivity, and helps preserve your brand’s reputation for reliability and professionalism.

Compliance with Safety Regulations

Timely and efficient snow removal ensures that your property remains compliant with municipal and safety regulations. Meeting these requirements helps avoid costly fines, prevents legal issues, and ensures your commercial site remains safe and operational throughout the winter season.

Protection of Property and Infrastructure

Accumulated snow and ice can cause long-term damage to surfaces, drainage systems, and landscaping. Regular snow removal helps preserve the condition of your property by preventing freeze-thaw erosion, water intrusion, and structural deterioration that can often occur due to neglect during the winter months.

Consistent Operations and Business Continuity

Reliable snow removal services minimize downtime, enabling your business to continue operating smoothly without weather-related disruptions. This consistency supports revenue flow, maintains customer service standards, and ensures that essential daily operations proceed without delay, regardless of weather severity.
