Snow removal costs $30 to $75 per visit for a standard driveway, or $200 to $600 for a seasonal contract. Prices depend on driveway length, snowfall frequency, and equipment needed. Many companies offer per-inch pricing or flat monthly rates.

What Drives the Price

Driveway length is the biggest factor: a single-car driveway costs $25–$45 per visit, while a two-car driveway runs $35–$75. Heavy snowfalls over 6 inches often trigger surcharges of $10–$20 per visit. Commercial properties pay $50–$150 per acre.

Per-Visit vs Seasonal Contracts

Per-visit pricing averages $30–$75, but costs add up during a snowy winter. Seasonal contracts range from $200–$600 and cap total spending. A typical 10-visit winter at $50 per visit equals $500, making seasonal contracts cost-effective in heavy snow areas.

Additional Services

De-icing and salting add $10–$30 per visit. Sidewalk clearing costs $15–$40 per visit. Some companies offer bundled packages for driveways, walkways, and steps for $50–$100 per visit. Always confirm whether the quote includes snow stacking or hauling.
