Think of Us First When the Snow Starts Piling Up
Avalanche Tree and Landscaping LLC provides snow removal in New Haven, CT for homes and businesses: plowing driveways and parking lots, shoveling walkways and entrances, and salting to cut down on ice. You can call us for a one-time cleanup after a storm or set up service for the whole winter.
Snow on a driveway is an inconvenience. Snow on a business parking lot or a rental property's walkways is a liability. Our plow trucks clear the paved areas, and the crew shovels the steps, walks and entrances a plow cannot reach.
If we already care for your lawn or trees, we know the property before the first storm: where the beds and curbs are, where snow can be piled without crushing shrubs, and which walks people actually use.
Our Snow Cleanup Services
Book one service or all of them, for a single storm or the whole season.
Driveway plowing
Residential driveways cleared edge to edge so cars can get in and out, with snow piled where it will not block the view of the street.
Parking lot plowing
Commercial lots, drive lanes and loading areas cleared for customers, tenants and deliveries.
Walkways and entrances
Steps, paths, sidewalks and doorways shoveled by hand where plows cannot reach.
Salting and ice control
Salt or ice melt on walks, steps and lots to cut down on refreezing and slippery patches after the snow is cleared.
New Haven's Snow Rules for Property Owners
New Haven's code puts sidewalk snow on the property owner, and the deadline is short. Missing it can mean a fine for every day the walk stays uncleared. Here is what the city requires.
If you want the public sidewalk along your property included in your service, tell us when you book and we will add it to your plan.
- Clear a path at least 42 inches wide, including ramps
- Finish within 24 hours after the storm ends
- Cover ice you cannot remove with sand or another abrasive
- Never throw, place or plow snow into the street
- Fines start at $100, and each day counts separately

Is There Snowfall in Connecticut?
Yes, every winter. In New Haven, snow usually falls from December through March, with January and February the snowiest months. Light snow can show up as early as November and as late as April.
Storms can leave heavy, wet snow, and what melts during the day can refreeze into ice overnight. That is why clearing and salting soon after a storm matters as much as the plowing itself.
