Five facts get you a real number instead of a range: the address, the driveway type, what else needs clearing, whether it is a corner lot, and whether the road is public or private.
Whatever you send lands with an independent snow removal operator whose route already covers that part of the county. Nothing here is plowed, shoveled or salted by this site.
Operators here price by single (one car wide), double (two cars wide), circle — which also covers an unusually long straight approach — and estate, meaning two to three acres or more with several areas to clear. Single and double are commonly the same price. The jump is at circle.
Every rate card checked in this county carries a corner-lot surcharge, and it is assessed after the fact if it is not declared. The extra work is sidewalk, not driveway — two frontages instead of one, and in most cities the ramps as well.
If the road is private, no township, city or road commission will plow it, and the arrangement is usually made by the whole road rather than one house. Say how many properties share it. Why this changes everything.
The first week of November is when properties get staked in this county. A route that is full in October stays full, and the one approach that reliably fails is calling during the storm.
