Local, reliable winter clearing for Centerville driveways, walkways and commercial lots — since 2014.
Snow removal in Centerville is not a once-a-winter problem. It is a January reality on every ridge road between Whipp and Alex Bell, and the crews at 5 Points Lawn Service & Snow Removal have delivered professional snow removal and plowing on those streets since 2014. Our office sits at 5818 Wilmington Pike, which means we are already in the neighborhood when the first flake hits.
Centerville sits high enough above the Great Miami valley that storms behave differently here than they do downtown. Two inches in Dayton can be three and a half inches in the older sections off Far Hills Avenue. Anyone who has tried to back a sedan up a sloped driveway on Yankee Street after an overnight freeze already knows the difference.

The housing stock here works against you in winter. A large share of Centerville homes built between the 1960s and the 1990s sit on graded lots with driveways that pitch down toward the garage, and the plat maps south of Spring Valley Pike are full of cul-de-sacs where city plows leave a heavy windrow across every apron. Melt runs downhill during the afternoon, refreezes overnight, and by morning that driveway is a sheet.
We plan routes around that. Sloped and shaded drives get treated, not just scraped. It is the difference between a driveway you can use and one you look at. Most Centerville homeowners searching for snow plowing are really looking for someone who understands that grade, not just someone with a blade.
Property managers face a different version of the same issue. The retail strips along Wilmington Pike and the office buildings near Cornerstone have customer traffic starting early, and a lot that has not been touched by 7 a.m. is a liability. Searching for snow removal companies at 5 a.m. during a storm is not a plan. Having a contract signed in October is.
Full driveway clearing, walkways to the front door, and a cleared path to the mailbox and trash pad. Our residential snow removal work in Centerville is trigger-based, usually at two inches, so you are not calling us in the middle of the night to ask.
Retail lots, medical offices, apartment complexes, and church properties. Parking lot snow removal includes stacking piles where they will not block sight lines or flood a stall when they melt, which sounds obvious and is the thing most crews get wrong. For year-round upkeep of those same lots, many owners add our commercial property maintenance.
Rock salt and treated blends applied to drives, entryways, and sidewalks. Salting services matter most on north-facing entrances that never see direct sun in January.
We run 24-hour storm response. When a system stalls over Montgomery County and drops another four inches at 11 p.m., emergency snow removal crews are already out.
We are a local snow removal company, not a national dispatch service routing work to whoever answers. Owner contact Jessica Powell answers the phone at (937) 307-0419, and she knows which Centerville routes run first. That is the practical difference between us and most of the results a Centerville homeowner sees online, and it is also why a search for winter help should end with a phone call rather than a form.
One thing we have learned from a decade of Centerville winters: the second push matters more than the first. Plenty of snow plowing contractor outfits clear a drive at 6 a.m. and disappear, and the customer is stuck when the storm keeps going until noon. We return.
We are fully licensed and insured, estimates are free, and you do not have to be an existing lawn client to get on the winter schedule. 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.
Centerville is our home base for snow clearing services, and our winter routes reach Kettering, Washington Township, Bellbrook, Springboro, Miamisburg, and Sugarcreek Township. If you are on the edge of that map, call and ask — or request a free estimate and we will confirm coverage for your address.
Contract customers in Centerville are on a set route and typically see us within a few hours of the storm ending, and sooner for commercial accounts with early opening times.
No. We offer both seasonal agreements and per-push service in Centerville, though seasonal customers get priority during heavy events.
Two inches is our standard trigger for Centerville accounts. Commercial properties can set a lower threshold if their insurance or opening hours call for it.
Yes. Some Centerville customers with heated drives or short aprons only need de-icing, and we schedule those separately.
We use shoes on the blade and stake the edges of Centerville properties in the fall so the crew knows exactly where the pavement ends.
Winter routes fill up by early November. Call (937) 307-0419 or request service online and we'll walk your Centerville property, mark the edges, and give you a flat number before the first storm.
