Snow Removal

County Streets & Driveways

Accumulated snow on our streets will be removed by Montgomery County.  In order for the county to do its job and clear snow from curb to curb, homeowners are asked to park as many of their vehicles, as possible, in garages and driveway so plows can safely navigate our streets and access our cul-de-sacs.

All driveways are privately owned and the responsibility of homeowners.S

Sidewalks

While our Association is only required to address snow and ice on sidewalks abutting common property however, safety and access are a priority!

We have a contract to address snow removal and ice on all sidewalks in Drumaldry including 7 egresses into neighboring communities
