Around Frederic
Snow removal for Frederic.
Frederic Township says hundreds of miles of snowmobile and ORV trails run out of the village, and M-72 and M-93 are the main roads through the township. Winter here means long private drives, shop yards and pole-barn lots on wooded acreage, plus seasonal cabins that need a drive open when the owners come up.
A truck with a Western straight blade clears the drive and back-drags off the garage door, and the edges are marked. For larger lots, a John Deere 644K wheel loader with a 16-foot pusher box does the work, with fire lanes and entrance drives kept open. Salt goes on with a BOSS spreader. Sign before the first push and ask what is open this winter. No spot is promised ahead of that.

Questions
Snow removal in Frederic: questions.
Do you plow shop yards and rural drives near Frederic?
Rural drives are fine by us. Driveways get a truck and a Western straight blade with the edges marked, and bigger yards and lots get a wheel loader with a pusher box. Contracts are signed before the first push, so call early.
Can a Frederic business lot be cleared before opening?
Commercial lots are done for opening, not after it, with entrance drives and fire lanes kept open and snow stacked where you want it. Phone the Alpena line to ask what is open; no spot is promised before that call.
Do you plow snow in Frederic?
Frederic is in Crawford 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 Frederic?
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 Frederic?
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.
