Driveway Snow Removal

What This Service Involves

A snowed-in driveway is the number one reason Puget Sound homeowners miss work during a cold spell, since local streets thaw slowly in the shade of tall firs and cloud cover. We clear the full length of the drive down to the surface, whether it is asphalt, concrete, or gravel, and pay attention to the plow berm the city leaves at the foot of your apron. On the region's many sloped lots, we make sure the grade is scraped clean so tires find traction on the way out. The goal is a drivable surface that will not glaze back over the moment temperatures drop after dark.

Benefits

Restores vehicle access when neighborhood streets remain impassable; protects your apron from the frozen berm left by passing plows; handles sloped grades that ice over quickly in the shade; matched to your specific surface type; minimizes wear on your car's tires and drivetrain

Our Process

1) We measure the drive length and note the surface material; 2) We clear the plow berm blocking the street entrance first; 3) Crews scrape the full run down to bare pavement; 4) We treat the grade with traction grit to hold through the overnight freeze

What Affects the Cost

Length and width of the driveway; surface material such as gravel versus sealed asphalt; steepness of the approach; height and density of the street berm; number of clearings needed across the storm

Best Time of Year

Reserve driveway service in early winter so your route position is locked in before December's first lowland accumulation.
