Around Charlevoix
Snow removal for Charlevoix.
Charlevoix packs a lot into a small area: downtown frontage along Bridge Street, businesses on US-31 and Petoskey Avenue, and homes around Round Lake and Lake Charlevoix. Many of those homes are second homes that stand empty in January until the owners drive up for a weekend, and a buried drive is a bad start to a visit.
A driveway job means a truck with a Western straight blade that back-drags off the garage door and marks the edges. Salt from a BOSS spreader goes on after the surface is cleared. Commercial lots get a bigger machine and are cleared for opening. Signing happens before the first push, and a spot is not promised, so call and ask what is open this winter.

Questions
Snow removal in Charlevoix: questions.
Can you plow a seasonal Charlevoix home that is empty in winter?
Driveways, including long rural ones, are plowed under a contract that has to be signed before the first push. A home empty until a weekend visit still needs that contract in place. Ask what we have open this winter.
How is salt put down on a Charlevoix lot or drive?
A BOSS salt spreader on the truck puts salt on a surface that has already been cleared. It is part of ice management, not a replacement for plowing. A response time is never promised, so ask about ice when you sign.
Do you plow snow in Charlevoix?
Charlevoix is in Charlevoix 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 Charlevoix?
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 Charlevoix?
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.
