How quickly will you plow my driveway after a storm?

Residential driveways are typically cleared within 2 to 4 hours of reaching trigger depth. We monitor weather forecasts closely, pre-position crews before major storms, and run continuous routes until every client is serviced.

What is a trigger depth and can I customize mine?

Trigger depth is the accumulation level that activates your plowing service. Our standard trigger is 2 inches of snow. Contract clients can customize this threshold based on preference or HOA requirements. Some homeowners with steep driveways prefer a 1-inch trigger for safety, and we accommodate that.

Do I need to do anything to prepare my driveway for plowing?

Please mark any obstacles like garden borders, low-lying landscape lights, or decorative stones near the driveway edge before the first snow of the season. Stakes or driveway markers help our operators stay clear of landscaping while still plowing close to the edges.

Will plowing damage my driveway or landscaping?

When performed correctly by experienced operators, plowing should not damage your driveway or landscape. We use proper plow heights, avoid scraping aggressively on pavers or decorative concrete, and mark obstacles in advance. We treat every property like our own.

Can I add salting or ice treatment to my plowing service?

Yes, and we strongly recommend it. Plowing removes the bulk of snow but a treated surface prevents bonding and icing after the plow pass. You can add salting and ice management to any plowing plan.
