Hiring a professional to handle snow removal makes your life easier. If you’re willing to pay for the service, you can sit inside and sip hot chocolate while your driveway and walkways are cleared in a matter of minutes. For many people, the decision comes down to time versus money – which is more important? <\/p>\n
The cost of hiring a snowplow company depends on the size and grade of your driveway and your geographic location. Prices also vary from service to service. <\/p>\n
In most cases, budget about $50 to $100 for the first six inches of snow. Smaller driveways fall on the lower end of that price range; long, sloped or gravel driveways fall on the high end. However, in some regions of the country you can spend as little as $30 or as much as $150. <\/p>\n
Keep in mind that some companies have a surcharge for storms with more than six inches of snow. On average, you might pay an extra $25 per additional six inches. It’s also helpful to know that you can save money by signing a contract with a plow company before the season starts, rather than waiting for the first storm. <\/p>\n

If you live in a cold climate, snow removal is a necessary evil. If you’re an avid do-it-yourselfer, chances are you’re lugging out the shovel or snowblower each time a winter storm passes through. Snow removal may not be a fun task, but it’s certainly doable for the strong and able-bodied. <\/p>\n
The only cost associated with DIY snow removal is the equipment. That’s the beauty of DIY work – the labor is free. You can pick up a basic snow shovel at the local hardware store for $30 or less, or a wheeled shovel that is easier to use for about $50 to $150. <\/p>\n
If you have a large driveway, you’ll probably want to invest in a snowblower. Prices range from about $300 to more than $3,000, but you can find a decent quality machine in the $500 to $800 range.<\/p>\n
