Per push or seasonal?
Rough math, labeled as an estimate: at 95.4 inches a year and one push per 4 inches (our assumption), a 2-car driveway in Amherst needs about 24 pushes, or about $1,800–$3,000 in total at per-push prices, versus $400–$600 for a season. A seasonal plan pays off at about 5–6 pushes. The break-even depends on how many storms you get, which nobody knows in advance. Seasonal vs. per push, explained.

Before you hire a plow in Amherst
- Lake-effect swings. Snow off Lake Erie falls in narrow bands, so one side of Amherst can get far more than the other in the same storm. Ask whether a seasonal plan charges extra above a storm size, or if it caps the number of visits.
- Gravel or pavers? Say so in your request. Plows usually raise the blade or use a different edge on these surfaces. Gravel driveway guide.
- Mark the edges before the ground freezes. Driveway stakes or reflective markers along the edges and next to landscaping help a plow driver keep the blade off the lawn. See our lawn and paver guide.
- Know the trigger depth. Contracts usually say how many inches must fall before a visit. A lower trigger means more visits. How deep is too deep?
