Snow removal in Harbor Springs, Michigan.
Harbor Springs drives run from tight downtown streets to long runs out along M-119 and C-77, in ski country snow.
Around Harbor Springs
Snow removal for Harbor Springs.
Nub's Nob, a ski area in Pleasantview Township near Harbor Springs, reports about 123 inches of snow, and Petoskey across the bay averages 123.6 in NOAA's normals. That is a lot of white to move in a place with steep drives, narrow downtown streets and homes strung out along M-119 and C-77.
Driveways get a truck with a Western straight blade, a back-drag off the garage door and marked edges. Salt goes down from a BOSS spreader once the surface is cleared. A home that is empty until a weekend visit still needs its contract signed before the first push. Call to ask what we have open this winter. A spot is never promised.

Questions
Snow removal in Harbor Springs: questions.
Can you plow a steep or long drive in Harbor Springs?
Driveways are done with a truck and a straight blade, and rural and long drives are welcome. The truck back-drags off the garage door and marks the edges. Contracts are signed before the first push, so call ahead to see what is open.
Do you plow Harbor Springs homes that sit empty in winter?
The same contract rule applies: it is signed before the first push, whether or not anyone lives there. Call before winter and ask what is open. We do not promise a spot or a response time to any home.
Do you plow snow in Harbor Springs?
Harbor Springs 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 Harbor Springs?
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 Harbor Springs?
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.
