Default Snow blowing/plowing

Wow, quiet in here! [crickets chirping]

Actually, I'm not surprised. I started a thread on here a couple of years ago when I was looking for a new plow guy after the previous guy moved from the area. The first challenge was finding someone who would return my phone calls. Of those who did, most of them wanted arm + leg + first-born son to do the job. Or, they couldn't get there early enough on weekends for me to get to my Sunday job.

I ended up buying a big-a$$ snowblower and doing it myself. Our gravel driveway is 1-1/2 times the length of a football field, plus a large turnaround area, and it takes me 2 hours to clear it. But it gets done WHEN I want, the WAY I want. I no longer have to hire a bucket loader in February to push back the snowbanks, because there aren't any. I don't have a ugly, dug-up mess to repair every spring.

I plan to continue snowblowing our driveway until the day that they have to pry my (warm) dead hands off those nice, heated handles.

I'm not clear on whether you're looking for someone to snowblow the whole driveway, or just someone to clean up after the plow guy. Since you're renting, maybe you can start by asking the homeowner or rental agency who they recommend.

Also, it's a different economy now, so maybe some of the folks who were mentioned in my old thread are hungrier for work. Here's the link:

Good luck!
