View Snow Removal template →Seasonal pricing is better for clients in heavy snowfall regions — it caps cost in bad winters. Per-push is better in moderate snow regions where you might only need service a few times per year.
Commercial lots run $100–$500 per push for plowing, depending on lot size and complexity. Seasonal contracts for commercial properties range from $2,000–$15,000+ depending on region and lot size.
Contracts should specify trigger depth, service hours (how quickly after snowfall), whether salting is included, contract length, and storm caps if any. Get everything in writing before the season starts.
