Snow removal in Pellston, Michigan.
Pellston's record low is minus 37 degrees, so ice management matters as much as plowing.
Around Pellston
Snow removal for Pellston.
Pellston is a village of 774 with US-31 running straight through it and Pellston Regional Airport about a mile to the northwest. Around it are rural drives on acreage and roads the county reaches late, plus a few commercial lots on the highway. The cold also makes ice management a real part of the job.
Driveway work means a truck with a Western straight blade and a back-drag off the garage door. Commercial lots use the John Deere 644K with its 16-foot pusher box, cleared for opening. Salt from the BOSS spreader goes onto a cleared surface. Contracts are signed before the first push, and a spot is never promised. Call and ask what is open this winter.

Questions
Snow removal in Pellston: questions.
Do you plow rural drives around Pellston?
Yes, including drives on roads the county gets to late. Edges are marked and the snow is back-dragged off the garage door. Signing happens before the first push, so call early and ask what is open.
Can a Pellston business get its lot cleared before opening?
Commercial lots are cleared for opening, with entrance drives and fire lanes kept open. A time is not promised, and contracts are signed before the first push. Ask what we have open this winter before the first storm.
Do you plow snow in Pellston?
Pellston is in Emmet County, inside the Northern Michigan area we cover. Contracts get signed before the first push, so call Traverse City on (231) 944-8752 and ask what we have open this winter, for a drive or a lot.
When should I sign a snow contract in Pellston?
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 Pellston?
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.
