Snow removal in Lachine, Michigan.
Lachine drives are long, rural and often at the end of a road the county reaches late.
Around Lachine
Snow removal for Lachine.
Lachine sits where M-65 and M-32 meet, and the properties around it in Long Rapids Township are mostly rural: houses set well back, long drives, and shops with turnaround space. A truck with a Western straight blade clears those, back-drags off the garage door and marks the edges so the blade stays on the gravel.
Salt gets spread on M-65 and M-32 and tracked into any lot that opens onto them. Our BOSS spreader puts salt down on a cleared surface. For a larger lot, the wheel loader with a 16-foot pusher box does the work before opening. Snow contracts are signed before the first push, so ask our Alpena line what is open for the winter.

Questions
Snow removal in Lachine: questions.
Do you plow rural driveways near Lachine?
Yes, rural drives are welcome, including ones on roads the county gets to late. The truck and Western blade open the drive, back-drag off the garage door and mark the edges. Contracts are signed before the first push, so call early.
Can a Lachine shop or small business lot be plowed and salted?
Yes. A lot gets cleared and then salted from the truck spreader. Larger lots get the wheel loader and pusher box. Tell us the entrance and fire lane layout and where snow can pile, then ask us how openings look this season.
Do you plow snow in Lachine?
Lachine is in Alpena 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 Lachine?
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 Lachine?
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.
