Around Alanson
Snow removal for Alanson.
Alanson has US-31 running through downtown, M-68 starting here and heading east to Indian River, and a mix of village lots, a few commercial lots and lake-country drives along the Crooked River and out toward Burt Lake. Beyond the village limits many places sit at the end of long driveways to lake cottages.
The truck with the Western straight blade does driveways, back-dragging off the garage door and marking the edges. A salt spreader on the truck handles ice after the surface is cleared. A bigger lot gets the wheel loader instead. Snow contracts are signed before the first push, so call to ask what we have open this winter.

Questions
Snow removal in Alanson: questions.
Do you plow small village lots in Alanson?
Driveways and small lots are done with a truck and a straight blade, back-dragged off the garage door. Bigger shared lots use the loader. Contracts are signed before the first push, and no spot is promised.
Can you handle ice on an Alanson drive after plowing?
Ice management is a BOSS spreader on the truck, with salt put down on a cleared surface. Plowing comes first. Ask about it when you ask what is open this winter, since contracts are signed before the first push.
Do you plow snow in Alanson?
Alanson is in Emmet County, inside the Northern Michigan area we cover. Contracts get signed before the first push, so call Traverse City on (231) 944-8752 and ask what we have open this winter, for a drive or a lot.
When should I sign a snow contract in Alanson?
Before the first push. Snow contracts get signed ahead of the season, and that is how your drive or lot is on the route when it starts coming down, not the week after. Call before it snows.
Do you do driveways or only commercial lots around Alanson?
Both. Commercial lots get the wheel loader and pusher box. Driveways get a truck with a straight blade. Tell us the drive or the lot and where it is, and we will get back to you with an estimate or a quote.
