Plow cost?

Our plow guy was $300 for 8 storms, and he made the commitment before fuel prices went up …..
so next season will be a different story.

We paid $584 for this season. Driveway is about 130 feet long with a large turnaround/parking area. We pay to have it cleared with a snow blower versus a plow. Saves coming back to a messed up driveway in the spring.

Snow blower vs snow plow is a serious question, especially if you have landscaping issues to be aware of. The snow blower may cost a little more, but you won't have the additional landscaping costs in the spring to re-manicure your lawn along the edges of the driveway. Plus, most plow operators don't get out of their vehicle to do walkways, etc, whereas the snow blowers will do walkways as part of the job.
