The largest winter storm to ever hit Chicago occured in January 1967. It snowed for 2 days, boasting 23 inches of snowfall and winds up to 53 MPH. If a snow storm of this capacity hits our beloved city again, will you be ready for it? The goal of Beverly Companies from the beginning was never to be the largest landscaping and snow removal company, but to be the best to weather whatever storms may come for our customers. Below are just a few of the equipment options we will use this winter to keep our properties safe and operable.

Its handlebar control, hydrostatic drive, and variable speed offer easy maneuverability. With heated hand grips, a headlight for visibility, and adjustable casters, it ensures comfortable and adaptable cleaning for various surfaces and conditions.
Toro Snow Blower
Snow blowers like the Toro Snow Blower, are machines designed to swiftly remove snow from driveways and pathways.
