Snow Removal in Memphis, MI
D&J Contracting is Memphis’s local choice for commercial Snow Removal. We bring 38 years in Southeast Michigan and plan each property around plow travel, stacking room, and ice control that fits the site.
That keeps access open on busy lots, protects curb edges, and reduces spring runoff problems. We work with the same discipline that property managers need when winter traffic does not stop.

Commercial Properties We Service in Memphis
We build winter access plans around the way each property actually moves. In Memphis, that means keeping people, trucks, and emergency routes clear while limiting slip risk, curb damage, and drainage problems.
- Retail Centers & Plazas, need clean ADA paths, open storefront access, and controlled pile placement so customers can park and walk without crossing snow ridges or blocked ramps.
- Industrial Parks & Warehouses, need dock lanes, trailer turns, and fire access kept open because heavy traffic and freight schedules leave no room for packed snow or refreeze at the apron.
- HOAs & Multi-Family Complexes, need safe drives, mail areas, and pedestrian routes maintained so residents can move in and out without creating complaints, trip hazards, or blocked collection points.
- Municipal & Institutional Facilities, need reliable clearing around entrances, lots, and service roads to support public access, code compliance, and response routes for staff and emergency vehicles.
Built for Michigan Weather: Our Memphis Snow Removal Standards
Our Snow Removal lasts longer in Memphis because we do the work around the failure points, not just the surface. We keep water moving off the lot so it does not sit at curb edges, joints, and low spots where it can freeze, expand, and break pavement apart. We also pay attention to the support under the driving lanes. If the sub-base shifts under truck traffic or thaw cycles, the plow work only exposes that weakness faster. On top of that, we use winter methods that fit Michigan freeze-thaw conditions, so salt application, pile placement, and cleanup order all help reduce repeat damage. That saves property managers money because they avoid early patching, edge repairs, and drainage fixes that usually show up after one bad season.
- Drainage first: We keep meltwater out of problem areas so it does not soak in and freeze against the pavement edge.
- Strong base: We watch for soft support under travel lanes before winter traffic turns a small issue into a repair job.
- Freeze-thaw fit: We use winter practices that match local cycling conditions, which helps extend service life and reduce spring correction costs.
Common Snow Removal Projects We Handle in Memphis
- Retail centers along Gratiot and the 23 Mile corridor usually need a first push before opening, then a return pass after the morning rush. We open the main drive lanes first, keep cart corrals and curb ramps clear, and place snow where it does not cut stall count or block sight lines at exits. That keeps customer traffic moving without forcing people into slush at the doors.
- Industrial yards near Mound Road often need dock aprons, trailer turns, and fire lanes cleaned in a tighter sequence than a retail lot. We set the route around truck movement, clear to the overhead door line, and keep meltwater from running back into the dock approach where it can refreeze under forklift traffic. In Memphis, that matters because one bad pile placement can shut down loading for hours.
- Mixed-use properties by Main Street and the riverfront side streets usually need ADA access fixed before anything else. We cut walk paths to grade, clean curb cuts, and keep snow off handicap stalls so tenants do not lose legal access during a storm cycle. If buildup has already packed into the edge of the lot, we remove it without gouging the pavement or leaving ridges that turn into ice later.
In-House Crews & Equipment for Memphis Projects
Our Memphis winter work stays in house from start to finish. We send only our own fully insured W2 crews with company-owned heavy equipment, so the same team controls route timing, pile placement, salt checks, and cleanup order, which keeps standards tight and gives property managers one accountable contact when conditions change on site.
Memphis Winter Access Reviews
We have kept commercial properties moving through Memphis winters by staying disciplined on route timing, pile placement, and ice control when the weather turns wet, hard, and unpredictable. Read the reviews below to see how property managers describe that kind of follow-through on active sites.
Thank you again for a job well done.
Payment terms are outstanding in the last four years payments have always been on time.
The staff at D and J are great and very helpful if there is any issues.
My project involved multiple services and pulling permits and I had several quotes and most companies don’t offer multiple services or don’t pull permits and you have to do it yourself.
D & J is the only company who takes care of city permits and takes care of all the services you need from start to finish. They also update you on everything, keep you in a loop and confirms everything with you.
In our specific case we needed a curb cut, driveway leveled and parking lot sealed and coated so low sports vehicles can safely pull in without scraping the bottom and D & J did it so well you can pull in even on skateboard now.
Highly recommend D & J, top quality, smooth process.
Our 3-Step Snow Removal Process for Memphis
- On-Site Evaluation We walk the property, measure entrances, docks, fire lanes, and stack room, then build a free estimate around how traffic moves across the lot.
- Permitting and Logistics We map plow paths, pile areas, salt access, and any required paperwork before winter starts so your manager is not sorting details during a storm in Memphis.
- Execution and Cleanup Our crews clear in the planned order, treat ice where it forms, and finish with a site check so access stays open and the lot is left ready for use.
Memphis Permits & Codes Handled For You
We take the permit work off your plate before the first storm hits. For Memphis properties, we handle the paperwork with the Building Department, pull the required Dumpster and right of way permits, and coordinate with MissDig before any excavation tied to snow storage or site prep. That keeps the winter plan moving without last minute calls, missed forms, or avoidable delays for the property manager.
Frequently Asked Questions about Snow Removal in Memphis
When should we schedule winter service?
Book before the first hard freeze. That gives us time to inspect entrances, dock areas, and stack space while the lot is still clear, which lowers labor and avoids rushed decisions once storms start hitting Memphis.
How do you keep our business open during the project?
We work in phases and keep primary access open first. Main drives, customer paths, and fire lanes stay in service while we clear secondary areas, so your operation can keep moving without forcing traffic into a closed section of the lot.
How do you prevent winter weather damage?
We control where snow gets pushed and where meltwater goes after each pass. That keeps piles off curb edges, drains, and low spots, which helps reduce refreeze damage, pavement edge breakup, and spring cleanup costs.
