Local, reliable winter clearing for Kettering driveways, walkways and commercial lots — since 2014.
Snow removal in Kettering is less about volume and more about timing, and the crews at 5 Points Lawn Service & Snow Removal have delivered professional snow removal and plowing on Kettering routes since 2014, out of our office just south on Wilmington Pike.
If you own property here, you already know what a bad February does to a short, steep driveway. Kettering was largely built out in the 1950s and 1960s, which means thousands of ranch homes on modest lots with driveways that run maybe thirty feet from the street to a detached or side-load garage. Short is not easy. There is nowhere to put the snow, and by the third storm of the season the piles along Ackerman and the side streets off Stroop Road are chest high.

Narrow tree lawns, mature maples, and city plows that throw everything toward the curb create a specific problem in Kettering: the apron. You can clear the entire driveway and still be blocked by an eighteen-inch ridge of packed slush at the street. We clear the apron last, after the city passes, and we come back if the city comes back.
The commercial side has its own rhythm. The corridors along Dorothy Lane and Far Hills Avenue serve restaurants and medical offices where the first customer arrives at 7 a.m. and the last leaves after 9 p.m. Snow clearing services on those lots have to happen in the gaps.
Residential snow removal here means plowing plus hand work on the walk, the porch steps, and the path to the side door. Snow plowing on tight Kettering lots takes a smaller machine and more attention than a big suburban drive.
Restaurant lots, strip centers, and professional offices. Our parking lot snow removal in Kettering is scheduled around business hours rather than dropping a plow in front of a full lot at lunch. For year-round upkeep of those same lots, many owners add our commercial property maintenance.
Concrete steps on 1950s homes hold ice long after the driveway is clear. Targeted de-icing and salting services keep the actual walking surfaces safe.
Overnight and holiday coverage. Kettering Health traffic, shift workers, and early-open businesses do not pause for weather, so emergency snow removal calls get answered at 2 a.m. the same way they do at noon.
Homeowners comparing snow plowing options tend to find two kinds of outfits: a guy with a pickup who may or may not answer in a blizzard, and a regional firm that subcontracts the route to someone from two counties away. We are neither. Same crews, same trucks, same routes, year after year. The person plowing your Kettering driveway in February is the same person who quoted it in October, and in this town that answer says everything.
Here is something eleven winters in Kettering taught us. The homes on the older streets near Lincoln Park often have driveways that were poured in sections and have settled unevenly. A plow blade set flat will catch a lip and chip concrete. We ride those drives higher and finish with a shovel, and we tell the customer why.
Every crew is insured, every Kettering estimate is free, and you are dealing with one snow removal company from the quote through the last storm of March. Snow is only part of what we do — the same local crew also handles lawn care and installation, landscape design and installation, mulch and brush hogging, and Bobcat grading and site prep once the ground thaws, so you can see the full range of our services and rely on one team all year.
Our Kettering routes connect to Oakwood, Centerville, Moraine, Beavercreek, West Carrollton, and Dayton proper. Adjacent townships are usually workable with a short conversation — call and ask, or request a free estimate and we will confirm coverage for your address.
Yes. A large share of our Kettering accounts have rear or side detached garages, and we plow the full run plus a walking path to the back door.
We do. Kettering customers can choose seasonal contracts or pay per push, and we will tell you honestly which one usually costs less on your street.
Kettering routes get a second pass at no extra charge under seasonal agreements when a storm continues past our first visit.
Yes. Several Kettering associations contract with us for drives, common walks, and mailbox clusters under one agreement.
We run smaller equipment for exactly that situation, which is common on Kettering's older streets, and hand crews for anything tighter.
Call (937) 307-0419 or send a message through our site. We'll look at your Kettering property in person, talk through where the snow can go, and put a number in writing before winter starts.
