Rough math, labeled as an estimate: at 32.1 inches a year and one push per 4 inches (our assumption), a 2-car driveway in Elgin needs about 8 pushes, or about $640–$1,040 in total at per-push prices, versus $415–$625 for a season. A seasonal plan pays off at about 5–6 pushes. If your winter is lighter than normal, per push usually wins. If it's heavier, the flat rate usually wins. Seasonal vs. per push, explained.

Before you hire a plow in Elgin
- Check your address. Elgin crosses county lines, so the rules on snow emergencies, parking and sidewalks come from the municipality you're in. Check its official website before you count on a deadline.
- Walks and steps are often extra. Many plans quote the driveway only. If you want the front walk shoveled or salted, say so when you send your request.
- Ice is a separate job. Plowing moves snow. It doesn't melt ice. Salt or another deicer is usually priced per application. Driveway ice guide.
- Ask about the end of the driveway. When the street plow passes, it leaves a ridge of packed snow at the end of the driveway. Ask whether your provider comes back to clear it. Why that ridge happens.
