Snow removal for Tawas City.
East Tawas next door averages about 49 inches of snow a year in NOAA's 1991 to 2020 normals, and Tawas City shares that climate. US-23 and M-55 meet here, and shopping lots along that road need to be clear before the doors open. That is loader work: a John Deere 644K with a 16-foot pusher box, fire lanes and entrance drives kept open, snow stacked where you ask.
Outside town, township roads and long drives get a truck with a Western straight blade, back-dragged off the garage door, edges marked. Ice gets a BOSS spreader of salt on a cleared surface. Contracts are signed before the first push and no spot is promised ahead of that, so phone Alpena or Traverse City to hear what is open.

Questions
Snow removal in Tawas City: questions.
Can you clear a big plaza lot in Tawas City before the stores open?
That is how we run commercial lots: finished for opening, not after it, with entrance drives and fire lanes kept open. A John Deere 644K with a 16-foot pusher box does the work. A contract has to be in place before the first push.
Do you put salt down on ice in Tawas City lots and drives?
Yes. Ice management uses a BOSS salt spreader on the truck, and salt goes down on a surface that has already been cleared. It does not replace plowing. Ask for it when you set up the contract.
Do you plow snow in Tawas City?
Tawas City is in Iosco 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 Tawas 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 Tawas 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.
