Around Mackinaw City
Snow removal for Mackinaw City.
Mackinaw City's economy is mostly tourism, and many businesses and homes there are seasonal, so lots and drives often stand idle through winter and still need to be open when someone shows up. The village sits at the end of I-75 and US-23 beside the Straits of Mackinac, and the lot behind the highway is the owner's job.
A motel or shop lot is cleared before opening, with the entrance and any fire lane kept free. A truck with a Western straight blade handles the smaller lots and home drives. We sign snow contracts before the first push, so a place on the list is not something you can ask for in the middle of a storm. Holding a spot is not something we promise.

Questions
Snow removal in Mackinaw City: questions.
Can I sign a snow contract for a seasonal building in Mackinaw City?
Contracts are signed before the first push, so call ahead of winter and ask what is open. A building used only part of the winter is worth asking about. Spots are limited and none is promised.
How is ice handled on a Mackinaw City lot?
A BOSS salt spreader on the truck puts salt down on a cleared surface. Plowing comes first, then the salt goes over the cleared pavement. Ask about ice management when you ask what is open this winter.
Do you plow snow in Mackinaw City?
Mackinaw City is in Emmet County and 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 Mackinaw City?
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 Mackinaw City?
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.
