Snow removal for Petoskey.
NOAA's 1991 to 2020 normals put Petoskey at 123.6 inches of snow a year, which is a lot of pavement to clear. The big lots sit around the US-31 and US-131 junction near Mitchell Street, where a Walmart Supercenter, an Aldi and other stores share the corridor. Smaller lots and home drives fill the streets behind them.
For a big-box or shared plaza lot we bring a John Deere 644K wheel loader with a 16-foot pusher box, clear it for opening and keep entrance drives and fire lanes open. Stacking goes where you want it. Contracts are signed before the first push, so call to ask what we have open this winter. No spot is promised.

Questions
Snow removal in Petoskey: questions.
Do you clear Petoskey commercial lots before opening?
That is how the loader work is set up: lots are cleared for opening, not after it. The goal is entrance drives and fire lanes open when the doors do. A time is never promised, and contracts are signed before the first push.
Can I sign up for Petoskey snow removal in the middle of a storm?
Not with any promise attached. Snow contracts are signed before the first push, so the time to call is ahead of winter. Ask what we have open and we will tell you straight, with no spot promised.
Do you plow snow in Petoskey?
Petoskey 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 Petoskey?
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 Petoskey?
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.
