What affects the price of a driveway plow?
Driveway size is a major factor. Small driveways often run $30 to $50 per service, medium driveways $50 to $70, and large driveways $70 to $100. Steep or gravel driveways can cost about $50 to $100 or more.
How much does a seasonal snow plowing contract cost?
Full winter-season contracts for residential driveways commonly run $200 to $600 in Morristown-area estimates. Two-car driveways are often priced around $400 to $600 per season. Contract cost depends on snowfall and service frequency.
How much does deeper snow add to the cost?
Each 6-inch layer of snow can add about $60 to $100 to removal cost in heavier snow areas. One guide lists 6 to 12 inches of snow at about $105 to $200. Morristown averages about 26.1 inches of snow per year.
What add-on services cost extra?
Walkway shoveling is commonly priced at $20 to $50 per service. Salting or de-icing is often $20 to $40 per application. Ask for these items to be listed separately in your quote.
What to do next
- Measure your driveway length and width, and note any slope or gravel surface before requesting quotes.
- Ask each pro whether the quote is per visit or per season, and whether it includes salting or walkway shoveling.
- Ask the pro for proof of insurance before booking. Confirm any state permit needed for their vehicle, since New Jersey requires flashing amber light permits to be carried and shown on request.
- Compare the quote against the $30 to $75 per-visit range and ask what is charged per additional inch of snow.
- Call (973) 506-2546 or email [email protected] for a free quote from an independent, insured snow plowing contractors (ask for proof).
