Whats the going rate to get a avg 2 car driveway with 10 inches of snow cleaned?
 

2 car driveway and the steps?

The mexicans here got a great racket going heheheh

If anybody can shoot me figures and where they live that would be great


I was chattin gone of em up and they get 100 bucks plus for a 2 car give or take..then clean the cars and a la carte shit...

ehhehehe

My folks just had theirs done here in RI this morning. $40 for a "standard" 2-car driveway. My grandmother has a slightly longer one and she got charged $50. They didn't clean off the cars, though - just the driveway and in-between the cars.

That seems high. Around here guys drive around with backhoes and clean you out in 15 minutes for $40 or so. This is Canadia though. Probably not too many backhoes wheeling around city streets.

My drive is about 200' long with parking pads for 8 cars. The guys I contract come in with a truck and plow and a bobcat for close around the buildings. They charge $60 whether we get an inch or a foot of snow.

$100 and a driveway that small with some steps? Fuck that shit. I'd shovel it myself and then buy a gallon of whiskey and a bag of weed to warm up with after (and still have some money in my pocket). :2 cents:

Buy a snow blower and do it yourself

Listen to the guy living at the beach for snow maintience tips. Hahaha

Plus you'd get an exercise.
100 buckets is waste of money.

Hey, I'm originally from Boston. I've been there and done that shit, man. Hence the reason I no longer deal with that bullshit and live where I do. :winkwink:

upstate ny is a couple of hundred $ per season

that's what I would do, well except for the weed.. hehe

500$ for the season

I leave it there, stops anyone visiting.

i cant afford a driveway... :(

It's included in the rent. :winkwink:

Thought for sure when seeing the thread title that the author would be MrMaxwell.

I bought one 3 years or so ago , i think it is time to trade up for a better model

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Paid the neighbor's kid 10 bucks. I wouldn't say he did a $50 job but its better him than me at any price.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh good strategy.

I pay $10. There's about 10 feet behind my vehicles. Very small driveway.

There's 15 inches easily in my backyard at the moment.

:2 cents: :2 cents:

It's pointless to simply clear the driveways of snow here. The moment the car moves from the driveway, you get stuck on the road anyway since nobody ever clears them. So it's a complete waste of time...

i just drive taxi

Silly people.

I grew up in North West NJ in the mountains and when it snowed, nothing fucking moved. We spent our summers collecting wood because we knew our power would go out, and spent our winters shoveling the driveway which was a quarter of a mile long. During a big storm it would take days for the snow plow to reach us. What a massive waste of fucking time - remove the snow, and it returns again a few weeks later. Fuck that.

After going through this a dozen times each year as a kid, and once I learned that there are places where it doesn't snow... I promised myself I would live in a place where it never snows. Here I am in Northern California. It doesn't snow here, but snow is an hour away if I ever want to see it.

No wonder why California, Texas, and Florida have massive population increases every year.

I pay about 450$ for all winter for a double driveway...

I live in QUEBEC so we have a lot of that white shit these days.... :1orglaugh

I don't shovel the snow, my driveway is way too long for that. I let nature run it's course, she put it there, she will make it disappear... In the winter I drive a big ass 4WD that is capable of going over anything, snow isn't really an issue, ever.

Let me look out the window and tell you...be right back.

Oh that's right, it's 75 degrees and sunny...sorry can't tell ya.

pay about 50 for one of my parking lots , all the other places I do with a snowblower :thumbsup

It's easy to keep warm. Texas and Florida in July is one level above hell. California is ok, but you know that an 8.1 is long overdue.

wow, Farmers around here will blow out your driveway for about 40 bucks with a tractor and blower. Driveways are usually a couple hundred feet. They charge a bit more if you need other areas done. I'd rent a small compact tractor and drive around neighborhoods undercutting them and still make a fortune.

Poor people from the future do it for 25 cents, just saw it on Southpark ;-)

It is long over due. I live in NorCal and we don't have earthquakes in this area, they tend to hit SoCal or San Fran.

I lived through 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake which wasn't such a big deal, but the aftermath was - We had no power for three days and everything quickly went downhill. Doesn't sound bad until you factor in everything in your fridge goes bad in 24 hours, you can't cook unless you have a BBQ handy, and you can't run to the store to buy anything because.... There's no power.

I am ready - we have plenty of food and water on hand.

You got that RIGHT!


:pimp

Juicy asked for an opinion on the snow removal rates. You provided a really fucking boring story and a plug for California. :1orglaugh

$100 is a rip off for your drive way Juicy. $50 max, even in NY.

I had no idea bro... :moon :1orglaugh

$100?
You've got to be fucking kidding me. $100 for a fucking driveway? lol.

Kid next door did mine this morning, Juicy. I have a 12X20 drive that opens into a 5 car parking area that itself is around 40X15. It snowed like a bitch here all day yesterday (Ohio), 8 inches minimum.

He drives a hard bargain, $25 and I threw in about a pound of leftover Halloween candy.

Fuck those greedy Mexicans. Find a 12 year old with a shovel who wants money to buy dumb shit and you've got it made.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Buy a shovel and get some exercise
