GROSSE POINTE · PARK · FARMS · SHORES · WOODS

We take snow calls for the five Grosse Pointes, nothing else.

Before it snows

Ask before you sign:

What depth brings the plow?
Is the walk in the price? The salt?
Who clears the end of the drive after the city plow goes by?
How many visits does the price cover, and what does one more cost?
If the plow catches the lawn, the curb or the mailbox, who pays?
Can I see proof of insurance?
Do you hold this city’s license? (Woods, Shores)

Then ask: is all of this in the contract?

A season contract runs $200 to $600 across the country.

One plowing of an average driveway (under 70 feet)	$30 – $50
Per visit — plowing, blowing or shoveling	$30 – $70
Per storm, up to 6 inches	$30 – $100
Seasonal contract	$200 – $600
Sidewalk shoveling, by the hour	$25 – $75
Salt, per application	$20 – $65
Roof raking, per visit	$200 – $500

National ranges from HomeGuide’s December 2024 chart. Not a Grosse Pointe price, and not ours.

When should I sign?

Before the first storm. At Detroit Metro Airport, the nearest station with a long record, most of the season’s 45 inches falls from December through February (the weather service’s normals).

Five Grosse Pointes, five sidewalk rules.

City	Sidewalk deadline	City plows walks?
City of Grosse Pointe	24 hours	Yes, as a courtesy, above 2 inches
Park	12 hours after the snow stops	Yes, all walks at 2 inches or more
Farms	24 hours for snow; 12 hours to salt ice	Yes, above 3 inches, after the roads
Shores	24 hours	Ask Shores public works
Woods	No deadline in the code	Yes, at 2 inches with 4 inches of frost

Four of the five plow residential walks once enough falls. The driveway, and the storms below each city’s line, are yours. The rules: City · Park · Farms · Shores. Who plows: City · Park · Farms · Woods. These are each city’s own codes and pages; we aren’t any of them.

In the Woods and the Shores, a plow contractor needs a city license. Ask to see it. (Woods · Shores)

Does calling cost anything?

Not from us. Some contractors charge to look at the job, so ask first.
