Snow removal in Indian River, Michigan.
Indian River has I-75 exit traffic, the M-68 and M-27 corridors and long lake-country drives.
Around Indian River
Snow removal for Indian River.
Three highways meet in Indian River: I-75 through the middle, M-68 coming in from Alanson and Burt Lake, and M-27 heading north to Topinabee and Cheboygan. Lots along M-68 and Straits Highway, the national shrine on M-68, and cottage drives on side roads around both lakes make up most of the plowing.
Long drives off a county road are fine. A truck with a Western straight blade back-drags off the garage door and marks the edges. Plaza and shared lots call for the 644K loader. Lakeside homes that sit empty in winter still need the drive open for a visit. Contracts are signed before the first push, and we promise no spot, so call to ask what we have open this winter.

Questions
Snow removal in Indian River: questions.
Can I just call when it snows in Indian River?
Snow contracts are signed before the first push, so calling during a storm is too late to count on a place. Call ahead and ask what is open this winter. No spot or response time is promised.
Can you plow a long drive to a lake cottage in Indian River?
Long drives are the kind of job the straight-blade truck is for. It back-drags off the garage door and marks the edges. Contracts are signed before the first push, which means calling before winter to ask what is open.
Do you plow snow in Indian River?
Indian River is in Cheboygan 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 Indian River?
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 Indian River?
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.
