Snow plowing is priced two ways: per push (a charge for each plow visit) or as a flat seasonal contract for the whole winter. The right per-push number depends on the property type, and the right seasonal number depends on whether the job is residential or commercial.
Per-push rates run $35-$75 for a standard two-car driveway, $100-$150 for a long or steep driveway, $20-$40 for a sidewalk or walkway, and $150-$500 for a commercial lot, with the largest lots scaling past the high end. Seasonal contracts run $350-$800 for residential properties and $3,000-$20,000 for commercial lots.
| Property Type | Per Push | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Residential driveway (2-car) | $35 – $75 | Standard two-car driveway |
| Long / steep driveway | $100 – $150 | Longer runs or significant grade |
| Sidewalk / walkway | $20 – $40 | Often bundled with a driveway |
| Commercial lot | $150 – $500 | Large lots exceed the high end |
Per-push billing charges the customer for each plow visit, so their total tracks how much it snows. A seasonal contract is a single flat price for the winter: $350-$800 for residential properties and $3,000-$20,000 for commercial lots. To decide which is better for a given customer, multiply your per-push midpoint by the number of plowable events you expect and compare the projection to the seasonal range.
| Contract Type | Per Season | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Residential seasonal | $350 – $800 | Driveways with predictable winters |
| Commercial seasonal | $3,000 – $20,000 | Lots that need guaranteed clearing |
Per-push snow plowing prices depend on the property. A standard two-car residential driveway runs $35-$75 per push, a longer or steep driveway $100-$150, and a sidewalk or walkway $20-$40. Commercial lots run $150-$500 per push, with very large lots scaling past the $500 high end as the plowed area grows.
A seasonal contract charges one flat rate for the whole winter instead of billing each visit. Residential seasonal contracts typically run $350-$800 per season, while commercial seasonal contracts range from $3,000 to $20,000 per season depending on lot size and expected snowfall.
Per-push billing charges for each plow visit; a seasonal contract is one flat price for the winter. To compare, multiply your per-push midpoint by the number of plowable events you expect. If that projection lands below the seasonal range, per-push tends to favor the customer in a light winter; if it lands above the range, a seasonal contract caps their cost in a heavy winter.
Commercial lot plowing runs $150-$500 per push, scaling toward the high end as the lot gets larger; very large lots exceed $500. If you prefer a flat arrangement, commercial seasonal contracts run $3,000-$20,000 per season. Size the price to the plowed square footage and the number of pushes you expect over the winter.
A standard two-car residential driveway costs $35-$75 per push. Longer driveways or driveways with a significant grade run $100-$150 per push because they take more time and passes. Sidewalks and walkways attached to the property add $20-$40 and are usually bundled with the driveway push.
Sidewalk and walkway clearing runs $20-$40 per push. It is most often bundled with a driveway push rather than billed as a standalone visit, since the crew is already on site. Standalone sidewalk-only routes are priced at the same $20-$40 per push per property.
Yes, those are add-ons beyond the plow price. Rock salt costs $5-$10 per 50-lb bag applied at about 20-40 lbs per 1,000 sq ft. Roof snow removal runs $200-$500 per visit, and snow hauling (when snow cannot be pushed aside) runs $300-$1,500 per load. Quote each separately on top of the per-push or seasonal plow price.
Most plowing jobs carry add-ons that are quoted separately from the per-push or seasonal price. Salting is the most common: rock salt costs $5-$10 per 50-lb bag and is applied at roughly 20-40 lbs per 1,000 sq ft of surface. For heavier situations, roof snow removal runs $200-$500 per visit, and snow hauling — used when snow cannot simply be pushed aside — runs $300-$1,500 per load.
Size the salt quantity for a job with our snow salt application calculator, then bundle it into the plow quote so the customer sees one number. For a deeper breakdown of every snow-removal line item, see our snow removal pricing guide.
This calculator is built for snow-removal operators who need a fast, defensible number on the phone or at the curb. Pick the property type, choose per-push or seasonal, and for commercial lots enter the square footage to scale the per-push price. In seasonal mode, enter the pushes you expect and the tool projects the per-push total against the seasonal-contract range so you can steer the customer to the right plan.
