Per push or seasonal?
Rough math, labeled as an estimate: at 102.0 inches a year and one push per 4 inches (our assumption), a 2-car driveway in Gates needs about 26 pushes, or about $1,950–$3,250 in total at per-push prices, versus $400–$600 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 Gates
- Lake-effect swings. Snow off Lake Ontario falls in narrow bands, so one side of Gates 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.
- 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?
- Get the terms in writing. Ask how often they'll come, what's included, how they handle a big storm, and whether they carry liability insurance. Questions to ask.
- 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.
