Before you hire a plow in Royal Oak
- 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.
- 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.
