Adam Linnemann, owner of Linnemann Lawn Care & Landscaping offers custom landscaping, design and installation along with snow and ice removal for clients in the Columbia, IL, area and still finds time to give back to his community through programs like Project EverGreen’s SnowCare for Troops. After almost 20 years in the lawn care and landscaping industry, Linnemann takes pride in the fact that the business he started when he was 14 years old now has over 20 employees and 600 regular customers. But that’s not the only measure of success for Linnemann: he says it is also incredibly satisfying to work with the SnowCare for Troops—a program that offers free ice and snow removal services for the families of deployed armed services members. Local snow removal professionals such as Linnemann volunteer their time and equipment, while the cost to manage the program is underwritten by THE BOSS Snowplow.

A Pre-Season Plow Inspection Will Make Sure It Is.

 The changing of the seasons is as evident by the leaves turning into a brilliant array of colors as it is by the fall to do list that each of us has before the first flakes of snow arrive. 

Whether the list includes cleaning the gutters, trimming up the landscaping or getting your snow plow ready for the upcoming season, each task has a purpose and necessity in preparation for old man winter. 

The trees are budding and the threat of accumulating snow is now behind us.  For many snow plowing professionals this means it’s time to shift from snow removal to lawn care – from snow plow to lawn mower.  When checking off the storage of your snow plow from your spring “to do” list you will want to keep these common mistakes in mind and avoid them when preparing your snow plow for storage. 

Have you ever wondered what the drop speed of your snow plow should be?  It's a bit of trick question because the answer depends on what your drop speed preference is.  If you are a snow removal contractor you may want the plow to drop quick because "time is money". However, if you are a home owner plowing your own driveway and don't want to wake up the neighbors you may want to lower the drop speed of your plow.  No matter what your preference is, the instructions below will help you easily make the adjustment. 

The weather reports are in and the "big one" is scheduled to hit your town.  They are calling for over a foot of snow and you know what this means - it's money making time for snow plowers.  It's the storm you have been waiting for all season and it's finally here.  The truck is fueled up, the plow has been inspected and it's time to hit the road!

As 2012 begins to draw to a close, many will take the time over this holiday season to reflect on the year and give thanks.  Last year, I asked our BOSS SNOWPLOW Family to share with us what they were thankful for.  While the list below is a year old, it is not dated.  The list reflects our values as a company - unwavering values that are true from year to year.  It's who we are, it's what we live by and it's what we promise to you as a BOSS Customer.
