Commercial Snow Plowing in Orange County NY & the Hudson Valley
Bernicker & Son Landscaping provides commercial snow plowing, parking lot clearing, sidewalk crews, and ice management for businesses, HOAs, and property managers across Newburgh, Orange County, and the Hudson Valley. We keep your property safe, accessible, and liability-free all winter.
Parking Lot Plowing & Stacking
A snow-covered parking lot is a liability and a lost revenue day. Our commercial plowing crews deploy when accumulation reaches the trigger depth specified in your contract, typically 1 to 2 inches for most commercial accounts. We plow during the storm to keep lanes open and return after the storm ends for a clean-up pass that pushes remaining snow to designated stacking areas.
We use truck-mounted plows for large lots and skid steer loaders with box pushers for tight areas around islands, dumpster pads, and loading docks. Every account gets a snow management plan that maps plow routes, stacking locations, sensitive areas (landscaping, light poles, curbing), and pedestrian paths. This plan is reviewed with the property manager before the season starts so everyone is on the same page.

- Mapped snow management plan for each property
- Skid steers for tight areas and loading docks
Commercial Salting & Ice Management
Slip-and-fall incidents are the leading cause of winter liability claims for commercial properties. Our ice management program goes beyond basic salting to include pre-treatment before storms, during-storm applications to prevent bonding, and post-storm follow-up to eliminate refreeze. Every application is logged with date, time, material type, and quantity for your liability records.
We use bulk rock salt for large parking areas and calcium chloride for sidewalks, entrances, and ADA-accessible routes where faster melting and lower-temperature performance are required. Pre-treatment with liquid brine before predicted storms prevents snow and ice from bonding to pavement, reducing the amount of salt needed after plowing and making the lot safer faster.
- Pre-treatment, during-storm, and post-storm salting
- Documented application logs for liability protection
- Calcium chloride for sidewalks and ADA routes
