Before you hire a plow in Palatine
- 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?
- 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.
