What winter looks like in Eden Prairie, and how we run it.
Eden Prairie is corporate-campus country: headquarters and office parks along I-494, Highway 212, and Valley View Road, the Golden Triangle industrial and tech district, Eden Prairie Center retail, and associations throughout. Campuses with hundreds of employees arriving by 7 AM need clears that finish before the first car, not during.
We serve Eden Prairie from Eagan, about 25 minutes by I-494, running the campus and office-park properties as a pre-dawn cluster with walks and entries on continuous cycle during the event.
About 25 minutes from our Eagan yard and salt storage.
Request a Winter Site Walk in Eden Prairie
Walked by the account manager who would run your property. Scoped, documented proposal before your renewal date.
Three things we plan for here.
Corporate campuses and office parks
Priority sequence per building and entrance, documented in the site plan, cleared before arrival.
Golden Triangle industrial
Dock aprons first, stacking plans that preserve maneuvering room, equipment sized for the lot.
Facility-team documentation
Event reports inside 24 hours with timestamps, photos, and salt by weight — the record your risk manager asks for.
What happens at each trigger depth.
Tuned to each Eden Prairie property during the site walk and written into your agreement. “As conditions warrant” is not a scope.
| Trigger | What we do | Target window | Documentation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trace – 0.9" | Walk and entry inspection; deice as conditions require | Before tenant arrival | Inspection note + photos |
| 1.0" – 2.9" | Full lot plow, walks cleared, entries and ADA routes deiced | Complete before opening hour | Event report + photos + salt weight |
| 3.0" – 5.9" | Continuous service during event; walks cleared on cycle; open-lot passes | Cycle service, final pass before opening | Event report + per-pass timestamps |
| 6.0"+ | Dedicated crew assigned for duration; staged equipment; stacking plan executed | Continuous until event ends | Full event narrative + photo set |
| Freezing rain / ice | Pre-treat where forecast supports it; repeat deicing passes on cycle | Pre-treat before onset, then by cycle | Application log with product + weight |
| Refreeze / melt-cycle | Daytime inspection pass; spot deice at drains, downspouts, and shaded walks | Same-day inspection | Inspection note + photos |
Representative matrix. Trigger depths and windows are set per property during the site walk — a hospital entrance and a warehouse back lot do not get the same numbers.
Lots, lanes, walks, and everything the plow cannot reach.
- Parking lots and drive lanes
- Fire lanes and emergency access
- Sidewalks, entries, and vestibule aprons
- ADA routes and accessible parking
- Loading docks and trailer aprons
- Stair treads and handrails
- Snow stacking, relocation, and hauling
- Post-melt refreeze inspection
Salt by weight, protocol by property.
Rock salt, brine pre-treatment, or low- and non-chloride products — selected per site and logged by weight on every pass, following MPCA smart-salting principles.
- Calibrated spreaders, application logged per event
- Pre-treatment ahead of forecast events where it helps
- Low-chloride options for decorative paving and sensitive plantings
Scoped by property type, not by square foot alone.

We manage this property from out of state. How does that work?
