Hey guys, I've got a 8' straight blade.

In your area what would you charge for a 18,200 sq ft driveway? Roughly 2280' long and gravel.

Do you prefer to charge per event, or by the hour? And why to you prefer that way?

Thanks for the wisdom.

 

[BossPlow2010]

Per season
Everyone has bills including me.

 

[SunshineDaydream]

On per season, do you plow every time it snow? Or say 3"?

 

[BossPlow2010]

We’ll do it at 2” usually per storm. some are an inch. we don’t guarantee bare neither,

 

[SunshineDaydream]

How many hours do you think this square footage would take for a newbie? Say 2-4", 4-6", 6-8", 8-10"?

Forget the hourly, You want to do one price seasonal or per trip whatever your client requests. Is this something you can make a pass in and a pass out or is there clean up by the home and garage?

 

[SunshineDaydream]

FredG,
Yes, it is a driveway that I can make a pass in and a pass out. Minor cleanup around the house. Two spots to dump snow halfway in, and then before turning in to the house.

 

[Mr.Markus]

Are you in Erin? I know that driveway.

9 minutes...

Is this a hobby or you trying to create a business? You should have commercial insurance and a general liability policy to cover your backside.

 

[Mark Oomkes]

Drive it at 10 MPH, multiply by 2. Or 5 MPH and multiply by 2.

Why do you need to "dump" snow midway?

 

[SHAWZER]

Using your measurements and square footage , the driveway is only 8 feet wide ? That is very narrow .

Metric feet?

Just Great! You scared the fellow away...

 

[Mr.Markus]

Im not that scary...

Says he's from the Rocky Mtn west area. If its the same drive, he must have come to Erin because of how sweet i make it sound on PS...
Lol

 

[SunshineDaydream]

Yes, the driveway is 8-9' ft wide. Last year we had 30' of snow in the valley and over 600" in the mountains.

 

[BossPlow2010]

Oh boy I wish we never get 600” of snow in a year...

 

[Mr.Markus]

I would get a v blade ...

 

[Defcon 5]

30’ of Snow?...I would start looking for a good used Caterpillar D10 dozer....

 

[Defcon 5]

Oh boy I wish we never get 600" of snow in a year...

Could you imagine the epic rants on here if Mark received 30' of snow in a year....
