Snow removal for Grayling.
NOAA's 1991 to 2020 normals put Grayling at 88.3 inches of snow a year. Commercial lots along Business Loop I-75 and M-72 need to be clear before the doors open, which is the job for a John Deere 644K wheel loader with a 16-foot pusher box, with fire lanes and entrance drives kept open and snow stacked where you want it.
Out in the township, rural drives and shop yards get a truck with a Western straight blade, back-dragged off the garage door with the edges marked. Ice gets salt from a BOSS spreader onto a cleared surface. We sign contracts before the first push and promise no spot until we have talked, so call Alpena and ask what is open.

Questions
Snow removal in Grayling: questions.
How much snow does Grayling get in a year?
Grayling averages 88.3 inches in the 1991 to 2020 normals, well above East Tawas at 49.2. That is why timing matters: contracts are signed before the first push, and what we have open changes every winter. Call to ask.
Do you stack snow where I want it on a Grayling commercial lot?
Yes. Stacking where you want it is part of how a loader job is planned. We walk the lot, keep entrances and fire lanes open and settle the pile spots before the contract is signed.
Do you plow snow in Grayling?
Grayling 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 Grayling?
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 Grayling?
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.
