Let’s Get Started

Twin City Outdoor Services (TCOS) has managed winter for commercial properties across the Twin Cities metro for 30 years. Property managers, facility directors and building owners call us when a site has to stay open through a storm and the documentation has to hold up afterward.

We work on commercial properties only. Retail centers, office parks, industrial sites, medical and education campuses, parking ramps and multi-family communities across the seven-county metro.

What a TCOS Snow Contract Covers

  • Plowing: parking lots, drive lanes, loading areas and service roads, cleared on a trigger depth agreed with you before the season starts.
  • Sidewalks and entrances: cleared and treated so the walking surface is safe when your tenants and staff arrive.
  • De-icing and ice management: including pre-treatment ahead of a forecast event so packed ice never forms in the first place.
  • Snow hauling and relocation: when piles start taking stalls, blocking sightlines or draining back across the lot.
  • Parking ramp clearing: with equipment sized for deck loading and overhead clearance. See our parking ramp snow removal service.

Every service plan is built around your operating hours, not ours. A retail center that opens at 9 AM and an industrial site running 24/7 do not get the same response window.

How the Season Gets Set Up

  1. Site walk. We map the property long before the first snow: lot layout, priority routes, entrances, snow storage areas, drainage, obstacles and anything that has caused a problem in past winters.
  2. Written plan. Trigger depths, service sequence, response windows, de-icing approach, snow storage locations and communication protocols.
  3. Contract. Time and materials, seasonal or per event, scoped to the site and matched to the way your building actually runs.
  4. Full season execution. Storm monitoring, 24 hour service during events, timestamped documentation and a team with the depth to reach you through every storm.

Why Property Managers Move Their Winter Work to TCOS

  • One vendor for the whole site. Plowing, walks, de-icing, hauling and ramps under a single contract, with one point of contact and one invoice.
  • Documentation that protects you. Our trucks are GPS tracked and every visit is timestamped, so billing is clear and slip and fall claims can be answered with a record.
  • 24 hour storm response. We monitor the forecast, pre-treat when the event warrants it and stay on your property until it is clear. Overnight and holiday events are part of the plan, not an exception to it.
  • A crew that knows Minnesota winter. Thirty years of freeze thaw cycles, October surprises, February ice storms and April false starts to spring in this specific market. We plan for the melt as much as the snowfall.
  • Salt used wisely. Over-salting damages concrete, kills landscape beds and runs into the watershed. We apply what the surface and temperature call for, following Smart Salting best practices.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast do you respond after a storm?

Response is defined in your service agreement, tied to your trigger depth and your operating hours, and our crews run 24 hours during an event. All of it is agreed in writing before the season starts.

Yes. Walks, entrances, stairs and pedestrian routes are part of the scope, and they are usually where a fair amount of the liability actually sits.

We haul. Snow is relocated to designated storage areas or trucked off site so you do not lose stalls or block sightlines in the middle of the season.

Yes. De-icing and ice management are part of the plan, including pre-treatment ahead of a forecast event so packed ice never forms. We apply what the surface and temperature call for rather than over-salting.
