How Much Should You Pay to Have Your Driveway Plowed?<\/h4>\n

Ahh, snow: It\u2019s pretty to look at the first time each season. You might curl up with a fire or a good book and relax on the couch. Or maybe you take the kids outside to make snow angels or a snowman. Unfortunately, the fun is short lived.<\/p>\n

If you live in a snowy climate, chances are it doesn\u2019t take long to get sick of trudging through snowbanks, cleaning off your car and, of course, shoveling your driveway. Hiring a plow guy makes at least one of those tasks more bearable.<\/p>\n

Cost to Hire a Plow Person<\/h4>\n

The price of snow plowing depends partially on the size of your driveway and the depth of the snow. However, your geographic location has a major influence on price, as do the qualifications of the plow person. Someone who is commercially licensed and insured (they assume liability for any damages) has to charge more to cover costs.<\/p>\n

You could spend $20 or $200<\/strong> to have your driveway plowed. A very small driveway in a low cost-of-living area might fall on the low end of that range, but don\u2019t expect the plow driver to be insured. A very large or steep driveway in a high cost-of-living area during a major snowstorm might fall on the high end, and the driver is likely to be insured. Nationwide, the average price is closer to $35 to $75 per driveway<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Cost<\/div>\n

Some plow truck drivers offer flat seasonal rates (often $300 to $1,200<\/strong>) to plow your driveway during and\/or after every snowfall. You prepay before the season starts. This is a gamble for both you and the plow driver because no one is sure how snowy the season will be, so it\u2019s up to you to decide if you\u2019re willing to take the risk. Often, plow drivers offer a discount for prepaying, so the potential for savings is good.<\/p>\n

Finding the Right Plow Guy (or Gal)<\/h4>\n

There\u2019s nothing more frustrating during a snowstorm than a plow guy who doesn\u2019t show up when he\u2019s supposed to, or not at all – leaving you stranded at home. Here are some tips for finding a plow driver who won\u2019t let you down.<\/p>\n
