About Perficut

Sixth Avenue carries a lot of Des Moines' older commercial buildings, loading docks and side lots that don't always sit flat, which makes plowing them a different job than a flat residential driveway. Perficut runs that corridor alongside its neighborhood routes, clearing lots and walkways and treating the low spots with de-icer where meltwater tends to pool and refreeze overnight. Des Moines winters bring both brief, hard-driving systems that dump an inch or two and move on within an hour, and slower fronts that linger and pack snow down hard over a full day — this crew clears for both kinds, adjusting the route rather than running the same plan every time. Residential driveways and walkways off the avenue get the same attention, cleared to bare pavement rather than just pushed to the side. It's unglamorous corridor work, done so the businesses along Sixth Avenue and the houses behind them can open their doors on schedule.
