Snow removal and snow plowing are often confused. Many businesses mistakenly use them interchangeably, but there is a distinct difference.<\/p>\n
Snow removal refers to removing all of the snow from a property, not just pushing the snow from roads and driveways into piles. Snow removal relies on heavy machinery such as front-end loaders and dump trucks to clear sidewalks, curbs or or areas where snow piles have accumulated from plowing. <\/p>\n
The cost of snow removal depends on the size of the property, the amount of snow and your geographic area. It is common to see rates of $50 to $100 per hour for each piece of heavy equipment used. Business owners should sign a contract with a snow removal company before winter begins to lock in a rate for the season and ensure prompt service. <\/p>\n

Snow plowing refers simply to removing snow from drivable surfaces such as roads, driveways and parking lots. The snow is pushed into piles or the side of the road, where it remains until it melts or is cleared in a separate snow removal process. <\/p>\n
Snow plowing rates also vary based on geographic location, the size of the property and, to a lesser extent, the amount of snow. Some plow companies charge by the \u201cpush,\u201d with rates ranging from $25 per push for residential driveways to several hundred for large commercial customers. Other plow companies charge by the hour or negotiate a flat-rate for the season. <\/p>\n
