Snow Plowing & Snow Removal in the Hudson Valley

Expert Tree Service has been working on Hudson Valley properties since 1936, and when a Hudson Valley winter hits, we don’t stop. The same licensed, insured crew that keeps your trees healthy all spring and summer handles snow plowing and ice management for driveways, walkways, and commercial lots across Ulster, Dutchess, Greene, and Columbia counties.

We’re not a national franchise or a seasonal side operation. Call us at 845-331-6782 to set up a seasonal contract or get on our on-call list before the season starts.

Snow Plowing & Winter Services We Offer

Residential Driveway Plowing

We plow driveways throughout our service area after every measurable snowfall, or on a threshold-based schedule. Whether you have a short city driveway in Kingston or a long rural drive off a Catskill mountain road, we route efficiently so you’re not waiting all day for a clear path out.

Commercial Snow Removal

Parking lots, loading docks, and commercial entrances have to stay open; liability is real, and lost business hours add up fast. We work with property managers, retail businesses, and light industrial sites across Ulster and Dutchess counties. Commercial contracts include guaranteed response windows and documentation of service visits.

Salting & Ice Management

Plowing removes snow. Salt and sand prevent refreeze. We apply road salt, sand, or a blended material to driveways, walkways, and parking areas after plowing to keep surfaces safe through the overnight refreeze that typically follows a Hudson Valley storm. Ice management is available as a standalone service or bundled with plowing.

Walkway & Step Clearing

A clear driveway doesn’t help if you can’t get to your car. We hand-clear walkways, front steps, and entry areas as part of our residential service. This matters especially for customers with older homes on tight lots — the kind of property where walk-up paths and stairs can ice up faster than the driveway.

Our Snow Removal Service Area

We plow throughout the same service area we cover for tree work:

Ulster County: Kingston, Saugerties, New Paltz, Woodstock, Ellenville, Rosendale, Rhinebeck (south), and surrounding towns
Dutchess County: Poughkeepsie, Hyde Park, Red Hook, Rhinebeck, Tivoli, Staatsburg, Millbrook, and northern Dutchess
Greene County: Catskill, Windham, Tannersville, Hunter, and surrounding mountain communities
Columbia County: Germantown, Tivoli, Clermont, and areas south of Hudson

If your property is in or near one of these areas and you’re not sure whether we service it, call us and we’ll tell you directly.

What Hudson Valley Winters Actually Require

The Hudson Valley can get complicated ones. The valley floor, like Kingston and Poughkeepsie, can see rain while parts of the Catskills are under a few inches of heavy wet snow.

We plan our routes and staging with this in mind. We know which roads and elevations go first, which properties need attention before others due to steep grades or limited visibility, and when to pre-salt before a storm hits. That local knowledge comes from almost 90 years of working in these same towns.

Why Choose Expert Tree Service for Snow Plowing?

Licensed and insured for your protection. Every Expert Tree Service crew member is covered under our commercial liability policy. If something goes wrong; a curb gets clipped or a light fixture gets hit, you’re covered. Uninsured operators don’t offer you that protection.

The same family, the same crew. Expert Tree Service has been family-owned and operated since 1936. When you call us, you get the same people, not a dispatcher patching together subcontractors from a different company every season.

Equipment that can actually handle the job. Tree work requires heavy trucks and serious equipment. What keeps us safe on job sites with downed trees also means we’re not sending an underpowered pickup to deal with a foot of heavy Catskill snow.
