Howard County plows the streets owned by the county. Cedar Acres Association currently contracts with a company, American Lawn and Landscaping, to plow the streets not owned by the county. These are the two Cedar Acres-owned cul-de-sacs off the main part of Cedar Wood Drive (see map). The contractor also treats all our townhouse sidewalks.
In the map below, the county treats all the black-colored roadways. Our contractor, American Lawn and Landscaping, treats the blue-colored roadways. They also treat the red-colored sidewalks and shovels the walkway between the townhouses and Green View Way as needed.
It is the homeowners’ responsibility to clear house pathways of ice and snow so they are safe for everyone. Please keep in mind that the contractor will generally wait until snow or ice accumulation has stopped before treating the sidewalks and roads. The contractor has multiple clients and is not staffed to handle all their clients at the same time – so they will work our neighborhood as soon as their schedule allows.
The Howard County government has set up a storm plow tracker. Click here to access it.
