Snow removal price list template
Plow businesses publish a short ladder of driveway sizes, each priced per push and per season. Rosemount Plowing in Minnesota lists four sizes from $45 to $110–$120 a push and three season tiers at $450, $600 and $850 for November 1 to March 31 (checked October 2026). Put the trigger depth, what a push covers, the season dates, the visit cap and the add-ons on the sheet, and quote lots and shared drives on site.

How should you describe driveway sizes on a snow price list?
In cars, not square feet. Customers know their driveway fits two cars side by side and two deep; almost nobody knows its area. Rosemount uses exactly that: short single-car, two-car wide and two to three lengths, three-car wide or extra length, and a separate tier for long, steep or difficult driveways with slopes, gravel or obstacles.
Keep off the sheet whatever you can’t size from a description: parking lots, shared and private drives, long rural lanes, anything with a turnaround. Those get a site visit and a written quote, and the sheet can say so in one line. A customer who books the three-car price for a lane that runs to the back of the lot is a problem you made.
What terms belong under a seasonal price?
Everything that decides how often you show up and what happens past that: season dates, trigger depth, the visit cap, how deep storms count, the price of an extra visit and when payment is due. Rosemount prints all of it: November 1 to March 31, a two-inch trigger, up to 12 plow-outs, and storms of 10 inches or more counted as two.
Price extra visits from the season, not from the walk-up rate. Rosemount’s extra visit on a two-car season is $50, which is its $600 season divided by 12; on three-car it’s $71, close to $850 ÷ 12 ($70.83). Contract customers pay less per push than the $60 and $85 walk-up prices, and that gap is the reason to sign.
Should walks, steps and de-icing be on the same sheet?
Yes, as add-ons priced per visit, so customers can build their own package. Rosemount lists de-icing at $15–$25 a visit, separate from the push. Give walkways and steps their own line, since shoveling is handwork the plow can’t do, and offer de-icing either on every visit or only when the customer calls for it.
Name the ice melt you use. Customers with new concrete, dogs or a garden bed beside the walk will ask, and it’s better answered on paper than at the door. If you carry a pet-safe or concrete-safe product that costs you more, list it as its own row rather than absorbing the difference on every visit.
Frequently asked questions
Should I publish my snow plowing prices?
For residential driveways, yes. Snow customers shop early and want certainty, and a printed ladder lets them pick their tier without a site visit. Rosemount publishes every tier, and its 2026–27 route is already full, with a waitlist for the following season at the posted prices. Publish the residential tiers and quote commercial work.
When should the snow price list go out?
Early fall, well before the first forecast. Season contracts need signing and paying before the season opens, and Rosemount’s opens November 1, so September and October are when routes fill. Send it to last year’s customers first with their renewal price, then to your mowing and leaf customers.
Should I refund part of a season contract after a light winter?
No, if the agreement says it’s a flat season price; that’s the same deal that protects the customer in a heavy winter. Say it in plain words on the sheet: one price for the season, however many storms come, up to the cap. You can offer a credit toward next season instead, which keeps the customer without handing back the money.
