    How a season with us works

    Same crew, same order on the route, every storm. Most customers renew, so we open spots for new homes in September and October.

    1. 1

      Walkthrough in the fall

      Marcus walks your property, marks the gas meter, curbs and garden beds, and gives you a fixed season price.

    2. 2

      Stakes go in

      Reflective stakes along the driveway edge by Thanksgiving, so the plow never chews your lawn.

    3. 3

      Storm mornings

      A text when the crew heads your way and a photo of the finished driveway when we leave.

    4. 4

      Spring check

      We pull the stakes in April and patch any lawn edge we scuffed. Seed and topsoil on us.

    Clearing snow off a car and pickup in a driveway lot during a February storm

    “During the February storm they came at 2 a.m. and again at 6. When I walked out, the car was dug out, the steps were salted and there was a photo on my phone. I stopped owning a snowblower.”

    Gary T., Littlebrook

    “My mother is 84 and lives alone on Jefferson Road. They do her steps by hand and check the handrail is clear. That is worth every dollar.”

    Priya S., Western Section

    “The stakes, the texts, the fixed price. It is the first winter I have not argued with anyone about snow.”

    Tom and Lena K., Princeton Junction

    A small crew that knows your street

    I started clearing driveways on Harrison Street in 2012 with one snowblower and my uncle's pickup. Today there are four of us, two trucks with plows and three walk-behind blowers, and we still stop at 140 homes.

    That cap is the whole point. It keeps a full route under four hours, so the last house gets the same 7 a.m. finish as the first. In summer we run a small landscaping business, which is why we care what your lawn edge looks like in April.

    Questions we hear every fall

    What if it snows twenty times this winter?

    Then you got a great deal. Season plans cover every storm of 2 inches or more from November 15 to March 31, no matter how many there are.

    Will the plow damage my driveway or lawn?

    We stake every edge before the first storm and use a rubber cutting edge on paver and stamped driveways. If we scuff turf, we fix it in April at no charge.

    Do you clear the end of the driveway after the town plow?

    Yes. The ridge the town plow leaves is part of every plan. If it comes through after we leave, we come back for it the same day.

    Can you start earlier than 7 a.m.?

    For people with early shifts, nurses and commuters, we can put you near the front of the route. Tell us at the walkthrough.

    Is the ice melt safe for pets and new concrete?

    We use rock salt by default and a magnesium chloride blend for pet owners and concrete under three years old. Just say which you want.

    Are you insured?

    Yes, $2 million general liability and workers' comp for the whole crew. We are registered as a New Jersey home improvement contractor and send the certificate on request.
