Snow in Southwest Wyoming doesn't fall so much as it flies sideways. Our 50+ MPH winds pick up ground snow and pile it into drifts that can bury a driveway, block a garage, and trap a car long after the storm itself has passed. A few inches of forecast snowfall can turn into waist-deep drifts overnight, and a shovel isn't going to move it.
EZ Dayz Landscaping runs heavy plow trucks and loaders for exactly these conditions and dispatches around the clock during storms. When you're snowed in and need out, we clear the drifts, open your access, and salt the ice underneath. Call (323) 606-0255 for immediate dispatch during a blizzard.
Signs You Need Blizzard Snow Removal in Rock Springs
Drifts too deep to shovel
Wind-driven drifts pile far deeper than the actual snowfall. What looks like a light storm can leave several feet packed against your garage and vehicles.
Snowed in and can't get to work
A blocked driveway means missed work, missed appointments, and no way for anyone to reach you. Getting the access open fast is the whole point.
Ice hiding under the snow
Clearing the snow off often reveals a sheet of ice underneath. Without de-icing, the cleared surface stays dangerously slick for driving and walking.
Re-drifting after you clear it
In steady wind, an area you shoveled can drift back in within hours. Heavy equipment clears it properly and pushes snow where the wind won't just refill it.
The right equipment for high-plains drifts
Hand shovels and small snowblowers are no match for packed, wind-driven drifts. We run plow-equipped trucks and loaders with the power and clearance to push through deep, dense snow and break apart hard drifts that have set up against structures and vehicles. For the worst blizzards, heavy equipment is the difference between getting out today and waiting days.
We plan where the snow goes, not just where it is. Pushing and stacking snow with the prevailing wind and site layout in mind reduces re-drifting across the area we just cleared, and keeps piles out of sight lines and away from where they'll melt back onto the driveway and refreeze.
Clearing access and opening the property
The priority is getting you mobile: driveways, approaches, and the path to the garage and doors. We clear down to a usable surface, break out around trapped vehicles where needed, and open the access so you can come and go safely once the storm lets up.
- Driveways and vehicle approaches cleared to surface
- Drifts broken out from around garages and doors
- Snow pushed and stacked to limit re-drifting
- Walkways and entries opened for safe footing
De-icing and salting
Clearing snow is only half the job when there's ice underneath. We apply salt and ice-melt to driveways, walks, and entries to break the bond of packed ice and restore traction, which is critical on the shaded, north-facing surfaces that stay frozen for days after a storm in our cold. Bare, cleared pavement can refreeze into a hidden glaze overnight, so de-icing is not an optional add-on here, it is the difference between a driveway you can safely back a car down and one that sends you sliding.
24/7 storm dispatch
Blizzards don't keep business hours, so neither do we during a storm. We dispatch around the clock and prioritize the people who are genuinely snowed in and need out. If a storm is coming and you know you'll need clearing, calling ahead helps us route efficiently and reach you faster once the snow flies.
In an extended storm, one pass often isn't enough, because wind keeps moving ground snow long after the sky clears. We plan for that, checking back on the worst drift-prone spots and reopening access that has refilled, rather than clearing once and calling it done. De-icing gets special attention on the shaded, north-facing surfaces that stay frozen for days in our cold, since those are exactly where a cleared driveway turns into a sheet of ice underfoot and under tire the morning after.
Our Process
- 1
Call for dispatch
Call us during or right after the storm and tell us your situation, especially if you're fully snowed in or a vehicle is trapped.
- 2
Assess the drifts
On arrival we size up drift depth and density and pick the right machine and approach.
- 3
Break out and clear
We push through and break apart the drifts to open your driveway, approaches, and entries.
- 4
De-ice the surface
We salt driveways, walks, and doorways to melt the ice underneath and restore traction.
- 5
Confirm access
We make sure you can get vehicles in and out and move safely on foot before we leave.
What Affects the Price
Every property is different, so we quote each job after a free walk-through. Here's what shapes your estimate — no guesswork, no surprises.
Snow depth and drift density
Deep, wind-packed drifts take more equipment time to break out than a light, even snowfall.
Area to be cleared
The size of the driveway, approaches, and walkways sets how much clearing is involved.
De-icing needs
Salting and ice-melt for driveways and walks add material and time on top of the plowing.
Storm conditions and urgency
Active-blizzard emergency dispatch and around-the-clock response differ from routine post-storm clearing.
Access and obstacles
Trapped vehicles, tight spaces, and where snow can be stacked all affect the time on site.

Blizzard Snow Removal FAQs
During an active storm we dispatch around the clock and prioritize people who are genuinely snowed in and need out. Response depends on storm severity and how many calls are stacked up, so calling early helps. If you know a big storm is coming, reaching out ahead of time lets us plan our route and get to you sooner.
Because our wind turns a few inches into feet. Ground snow blows and packs into dense drifts that a shovel or small blower can't move, especially where it sets up hard against a garage or vehicle. Plow trucks and loaders have the power and clearance to break through drifts that would take you all day by hand.
Both. Clearing the snow often exposes a sheet of ice underneath that stays dangerously slick, especially on shaded surfaces in our cold. We apply salt and ice-melt to driveways, walks, and entries to break that ice up and restore traction, not just push the snow off.
In steady wind it can, which is why we think about where we push and stack snow rather than just piling it nearby. Placing snow with the wind and site layout in mind reduces re-drifting across the area we cleared. In an extended blizzard, a second pass may be needed, and we can plan for that.
Yes. Alongside emergency residential clearing, we handle commercial lots and offer seasonal snow plowing and ice-control contracts for businesses and HOAs that need reliable, ongoing service all winter. For dependable coverage every storm, a seasonal contract is the way to go.
