Snow Plowing in Rome, NY

Snow plowing in Rome, NY that pushes the snow off your driveway or parking lot so you can get in and out, even when lake-effect storms pile it up.

The Basics

What Is Snow Plowing?

Snow plowing uses a truck or piece of equipment with a plow blade to push snow off a driveway, parking lot or private road and stack it to the side. It's the fastest way to open up a wide paved area after a storm, and it's what lets you get the car out in the morning without an hour of shoveling. A good plow job does more than clear a path. It sets the banks in the right places so they don't block your view, bury your mailbox or slide back into the lane you just opened. At Mac Contracting, snow plowing is one of the ways we help neighbors around Rome keep moving through the long Central New York winter.

Why It Matters

Why Is Snow Plowing Necessary?

In this part of Central New York, winter isn't a few light dustings. Lake-effect snow can drop several inches in a few hours, and a heavy, wet storm can make a driveway impossible to drive through. Shoveling that much by hand is exhausting, and for a lot of people it just isn't safe. Businesses need open lots and clear entrances for customers and staff, and homeowners need to get to work, school and appointments no matter what the forecast says. Plowing also protects the pavement by keeping heavy snow from getting packed down into ice. Having a plan in place before the season starts means you're not scrambling when the first big storm rolls in.

Getting Ready

What Is Required For Snow Plowing?

Before the first storm, we'll want to see the area that needs plowing and talk through a few details. Mark the edges of the driveway or lot with stakes or reflectors if you can, so the plow can find them once everything is white. Let us know where the snow should go, where it shouldn't, and about anything that sits close to the pavement, like landscaping, curbs, drains or a basketball hoop. Move vehicles out of the way when you can, since a clear lot makes for a faster, cleaner job. It also helps to share how you use the space, such as the time you leave in the morning or when your business opens its doors.
