Parking Lot Plowing for South Portland Businesses
A parking lot is the first thing your customers, tenants, and employees deal with on a snow day. When the drive lanes are buried or the spaces are only half cleared, people turn around, park wherever they can, or walk across ice to reach the door. J.L.P. Services has run commercial snow operations in South Portland since 1993, and our crews are on standby 24/7 all winter, so plowing starts as soon as accumulation does.

How a Storm Plays Out on Your Lot
Every lot plows differently. The drive lanes, the islands, the loading area, and the spots where snow can and can't go are different on every property, so the work starts long before the first flake.
Before the Season
We walk your property, map the lot, note where snow can be stacked, and flag the entrances and hydrants that have to stay clear. On a seasonal contract, the scope and price go in writing.
Before the Storm
Salt or brine goes down ahead of the weather so ice can't bond to the pavement. That makes the plowing that follows cleaner and cuts down on slip-and-fall hazards.
During the Storm
Crews are on standby 24/7 and plowing begins as soon as accumulation starts. Contract properties are scheduled ahead of one-off call-ins, which matters most when a storm runs long.
After the Storm
Spaces and drive lanes are cleared, piles go where the plan says they go, and heavy piles can be hauled off-site when they start eating into parking. Lots get salted again after the storm, and in spring the leftover sand gets swept up.
Contract or Call-In
Most of the lots we plow are on a seasonal snow contract. The price is set before winter, your property is on our route from the first snowfall to the last, and plowing, salting, and spring sand removal all come from the same crew. You know your winter cost up front instead of watching per-storm invoices pile up through a heavy February.

Parking Lot Plowing FAQs
When do you start plowing a parking lot during a storm?
Our crews are on standby 24/7 during the winter, and plowing begins as soon as accumulation starts.
Do you salt the lot too?
Yes. We apply salt or brine before and after winter weather to keep ice from bonding to the pavement. Salting can be part of the same seasonal contract as your plowing.
Where does all the snow go?
Before the season starts, we plan where snow can be stacked on your lot. When piles start taking up parking spaces, we can haul heavy snow off-site to free up the room.
Can you handle a large commercial lot?
Yes. With 6 loaders, 10 ToolCats, and 8 one-ton dump trucks, our fleet is equipped for properties of every size, from small business lots to large commercial and industrial complexes.
Do you plow residential driveways?
No. J.L.P. Services plows commercial properties only, including businesses, HOA communities, apartment complexes, and other commercial sites in South Portland and the surrounding Southern Maine communities.
