Snow removal in Harrisville, Michigan.
Harrisville averages about 52 inches of snow a year, less than Alpena up the shore, but the drives and lots still need opening.
Around Harrisville
Snow removal for Harrisville.
NOAA's 1991-2020 average for Harrisville is about 52.4 inches. Snow work here is town driveways, shore-road cottages, rural drives out toward Springport and lots on Main Street, which is US-23, and around the harbor. A truck with a Western straight blade and a back-drag off the garage door handles the drives, with marked edges.
Lots get the wheel loader and its 16-foot pusher box, done for opening, with entrance drives and fire lanes kept open. A BOSS spreader salts after. Seasonal owners can set up a contract in the fall, because contracts are signed before the first push. We never promise a spot, so call to ask what is open this winter.

Questions
Snow removal in Harrisville: questions.
Do you plow driveways in Harrisville?
Yes. Town drives and rural drives are both normal work, including those on roads the county gets to late. We use a truck with a Western straight blade and back-drag off the garage door. Snow contracts are signed ahead of the first push.
Can a business lot on Main Street in Harrisville be cleared before opening?
That is the plan for any lot: cleared for opening, entrance drives and fire lanes open, snow stacked where you say. A BOSS spreader salts the cleared surface after. Call our Alpena line and ask whether we have room on a lot your size.
Do you plow snow in Harrisville?
Harrisville is in Alcona County, inside the Northern Michigan area we cover. Contracts get signed before the first push, so call Alpena on (989) 255-5800 and ask what we have open this winter, for a drive or a lot.
When should I sign a snow contract in Harrisville?
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 Harrisville?
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.
