A History of Experience That Speaks Volumes
Wellman’s Lawn Care has been serving Springfield, IL and nearby communities for more than a decade. During that time, we’ve handled snow removal for a wide variety of commercial properties:

- 24/7 Monitoring & Response – We keep an eye on meteorological reports and deploy staff before, during, and after snowfall to prevent buildup.
- Snow Removal Contracts with Clear Expectations – Working with business owners, we craft plans that specify when we act, which areas we prioritize, and how damage to property is handled.

What Makes Our Snow Removal Service Work for Businesses
When a business contracts Wellman’s Lawn Care for snow removal, what do they get? Here are the essential elements built into every service:
Planning & Customization
Every commercial property is different. We assess:
- Property layout: parking lots, sidewalks, entrances, and loading docks.
- Traffic flow: when customers arrive/depart, employee schedules.
- Access points for plowing and snow storage.
- Safety signage, lighting, and any special concerns (e.g., slopes, stairs, landscaping features).
From that assessment, we build a custom snow removal plan with clear steps: what action triggers a service call, what areas get cleared first, and what materials (salt, ice melt, sanding) are used.
Execution & Safety
Execution matters. We follow proper snow removal protocols so that:
- Surfaces are cleared safely—ice is treated, snowbanks don’t block sightlines, and edges are kept clear.
- Drainage is protected—snow removal doesn’t create runoff problems in the spring or damage drains.
- Landscaping and hardscape structures aren’t harmed—curbs, planted areas, and surfaces are respected.
We also adhere to safety and liability best practices so that businesses are not exposed to risk from slips or accidents.
Communication & Transparency
During winter storms, communication is key:
- We provide estimates and regular updates.
- We will let you know when crews are dispatched and when work is complete.
- If the weather worsens unexpectedly, we will adjust plans and inform you.
Commercial property owners appreciate this transparency—it means no surprises on invoices, no ambiguity in timing, and more ability to plan their own operations around snow removal.
Benefits of Choosing Wellman’s Lawn Care
Why should your business switch or renew with Wellman’s Lawn Care? Some of the benefits include:
- Reduced liability risk from slips, falls, and inaccessible entrances.
- Improved curb appeal—businesses that keep their lots and sidewalks clean and safe attract more customers and retain employees.
- Faster operational uptime—less downtime due to weather delays.
- Cost effectiveness—properly done snow removal reduces damage to property and avoids emergency last-minute costs.
For commercial property owners wanting long-term value, these benefits pay off through customer satisfaction, regulatory compliance, and lower repair or insurance claims.
