Winter time is great.  Everyone looks forward to the holidays, and snow makes them even more magical.  But at the end of the day, we’re stuck wondering who’s going to plow the snow so we can get our cars out of the driveway.

Getting snow out of the driveway is one of those odd jobs for which we are never really sure whether we’re paying too much or too little. So, how much does it cost to remove snow from a driveway?

Snow removal methods

– For a 1-4 car driveway, a snow plow will cost anywhere from $20 to $60 per push, depending on the area you live in and the equipment being used. If the snow is no more than 12” deep, one visit should do it, but if more than one visit is required, the second visit could be up to double the cost of the first.

– To remove snow from the driveway using a shovel, snow blower or a lawn mower, the effort required is more and the price is also going to be higher. This can range from $65 to $75 per visit. This may vary depending on the amount of snow, length of driveway, shape of driveway, etc.

– In the case of walkways, snow plows cannot be used. Hiring someone to shovel it can cost anything from $5 to $20, depending on who is doing the work and how much snow there is to shovel.
