This is measured by the contractor at the pavement, not including drifts. Clients can expect that snow clearing will start after the snow event stops. When there is an exceptionally heavy snowfall over an extended time driveway service cleaning may be completed multiple times. Depending on the time of the snowfall, we attempt to service customers by 7:00 AM or 5:00 PM. Often times roadway snow plows fill driveways aprons with excess snow after driveways have been cleared. If this causes a hazard or inconvenience, kindly contact us and we will attempt to clear this within a reasonably agreed upon time frame.
