How to price snow removal
Most residential snow work is priced per visit (per push). A typical driveway plow runs $40–$90, scaling up with size; salting adds $30–$70, and combo plow-plus-salt is most common. Commercial lots are bid by the hour or by the season.
Cold-season margins live and die on triggers and limits. Set a snow-depth trigger (e.g. 2"), define how deep is included before extra charges, and require seasonal contracts or card-on-file so you're not chasing payment in January.
