Our Range of Services
Snow Clearing Services
With a fleet of more than 100 high capacity snow pushers ranging from 8’-20’ and more than 100 snow plow trucks, we have the equipment to handle any size site small or large. Snow clearing usually begins when snow accumulates more than 1” and is continuous until the storm is over and all the sites have been cleared.
Anti-icing Services
Pre-treatment with de-icing chemicals is the first step to successful snow and ice management. Prior to a storm’s arrival, we apply granule and liquid chemicals to prevent the actual adhesive bond that forms without this intervention. The application process is an integral safety measure to ensure easier clearing and plowing.
De-icing Services
Designed to melt the final layer left behind by traditional snow clearing, this technique involves the application of chemicals during or after a storm. De-icing is also used to battle freezing rain and sleet storms common to the St. Louis area. BSR Services always procures enough chemicals for more than one season.
Snow Hauling Services
When the big storm hits or we experience consecutive storms, snow hauling may be needed to remove large snow piles from sites. Our expansive fleet of high capacity dump trucks and loaders efficiently move snow off site to designated locations.
Sidewalk Clearing Services
No matter how large or small, we have the manpower and equipment to safely service all types of sidewalks. We use a variety of specialized sidewalk broom machines and hand crews that easily clear your buildings’ paths thanks to our pre-treatment process.
Liquids
We at BSR Services are always looking for the best snow and ice removal methods to better serve you. A few years ago we invested in new equipment – including state-of-the-art liquid salt application machinery, two tanker trucks, and the addition of liquid systems to our remaining 40 trucks – in order to offer faster and more environmentally-friendly winter treatment methods. Now we’re expanding this type of treatment to encompass even more of our winter service programs.
Environmentally Friendly Liquid Salt Brine

Now we’re expanding this type of treatment to encompass even more of our winter service programs.
When weather permits (BSR cannot use this product if it rains before it snows), we will be utilizing liquids for all pre-salt applications. Our industry is embracing this technique, and we want to be a part of this all-encompassing and progressive treatment method.
Rock Salt doesn’t actually melt anything, it has to turn to Brine. Temperature and moisture turns rock salt to Brine. Brine is instantaneous and can be put down days and weeks in advance, goes down into the surface and waits for the moisture to hit.
A Little More Costly To Us… But Well Worth It For You
While liquid involves a more costly application process (we are committed to hiring additional labor and purchasing specialized equipment), the benefits to our customers are far reaching:
