Around Onaway
Snow removal for Onaway.
Onaway's snow work is mostly rural: driveways on the older streets, long drives to cabins in the woods, and roads the county gets to late. A truck with a Western straight blade and a back-drag off the garage door, plus marked edges, does the job. The town sits on the Black River, and the roads that cross it are the roads people plan around.
Business lots along M-33 and M-68 need entrance drives and fire lanes open before the doors do. The loader with a 16-foot pusher box clears them, and a BOSS spreader salts afterward. Snow contracts are signed before the first push, and we do not promise a spot or a trigger depth. Call to ask whether there is room for your lot this winter.

Do you plow long cabin drives near Onaway?
Yes. Long drives through the woods are rural drives, and rural drives are welcome. A truck with a Western straight blade clears them and marks the edges. Contracts are signed before the first push, so call early in the season.
Can you plow a business lot on M-33 or M-68 in Onaway?

When should I sign a snow contract in Onaway?
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.

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.
