Around Johannesburg
Snow removal for Johannesburg.
Johannesburg is eleven miles east of Gaylord on M-32, and Gaylord's normals run to 140.3 inches of snow a year. The hamlet has no weather station of its own in the sources we checked, so we quote no number for it. What it does have is rural drives off M-32 and F-97, shop yards and acreage drives, the kind of job a truck and blade handle well.
The truck with the Western straight blade clears the drive, then back-drags off the garage door and marks the edges. Ice control is a BOSS spreader putting salt on a cleared surface. Contracts are signed before the first push and we do not name a spot or a response time, so call the Alpena line and ask what we have open this winter.

Questions
Snow removal in Johannesburg: questions.
Do you plow rural drives off M-32 in Johannesburg?
Drives out on rural roads are fine. The truck clears the length of the drive, back-drags off the garage door and marks the edges. Call early, because the contract is signed ahead of the first push.
When should I call about a snow contract for a Johannesburg property?
Fall is the time, since contracts are signed before the first push. We do not name a spot or a response time before we have spoken. Ask what is open this winter on the Alpena or Traverse City line.
Do you plow snow in Johannesburg?
Johannesburg is in Otsego 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 Johannesburg?
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 Johannesburg?
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.
