After the storm, in this order
- Check your deadline. 12 hours after the snow stops in the Park; 24 hours in the City of Grosse Pointe, the Farms and the Shores (the Park · the City · the Farms · the Shores).
- Salt the ice. The Farms gives 12 hours to salt ice that has formed; the City and the Shores accept salt in place of clearing (the Farms · the City · the Shores).
- Car off the street in a snow emergency. In the Woods, no parking on any street once one is declared; the Farms says cars may be ticketed or towed (the Woods · the Farms).
- Keep the snow out of the street, in every one of the five (the City’s rule · state law).

Ask the contractor for the price before the work starts.
Per push work is priced by the visit and often by depth. Ask for the number before the truck comes.
Questions
How soon can someone come?
- Expect a window for the day, not an appointment. Ask the contractor what their usual window is. A seasonal contract sets the depth that brings the truck before the snow comes.
Will the city plow my driveway?
- No. The Park says plainly that it will not plow out private driveways (the Park’s page).
Will I be charged for the visit?
- Calling us costs nothing. Some contractors charge to come out and look at the job. Ask before they come, and get the price in writing.
