Driveway Snow Pros clears Lake Elmo driveways with tractor-mounted snow blowers instead of plows. On the long and gravel driveways common in Lake Elmo that matters twice over: no snow banks along a hundred feet of drive, and the gravel mostly stays out of the yard.

# Driveway snow blowing in Lake Elmo.
Long driveways and gravel drives are where plowing costs you the most, in banks along the whole run and in stone raked out of the lawn every April. A tractor blower avoids both.

Lake Elmo has more of the driveways that punish a plow than almost anywhere in the east metro. Long runs mean a plow has to push the whole load somewhere, and by midwinter that somewhere is a wall along the length of your drive. Gravel makes it worse: every pass sends stone into the yard and the ditch. Blowing sidesteps both problems.

_Gravel drives_

## Your driveway stays on the driveway.

Plowing gravel pushes it into the yard and the ditch every winter, and you spend part of every spring putting it back. We set the blower high so the auger rides above the surface, and most of the gravel stays where it belongs.

- Blower height set for gravel before the first storm
- No annual stone raking along the driveway margin
- Driveway markers along the edges help us stay off the shoulder

_Deep and drifted_

## Open country means drifting, and drifting favors a blower.

Lake Elmo has a lot of open ground and wind, which is the condition plows handle worst. A blade rides up over heavy drifted snow and leaves a compacted layer behind. A blower moves deep snow at a steady rate no matter how deep it is, which is what you want in a 14 inch storm.

- Steady clearing rate regardless of depth
- Drifts cut through rather than ridden over
- Deep storms included in the season rate, not surcharged

## Lake Elmo questions.

### My driveway is a few hundred feet of gravel. Can you do it?

Yes, and it is one of the best cases for this service. We set the blower high for gravel and quote longer driveways individually so the price reflects the actual run.

### Does a long driveway cost more than $785?

It can. $785 is the standard residential rate. Long, steep, or multi-vehicle driveways get their own quote, and you see it before you commit rather than after.

### What about drifting across an open driveway?

Drifts are handled under the season rate. A blower cuts through drifted snow at the same rate it handles fresh snow, which is the main reason it outperforms a blade out here.

### Do you cover all of Lake Elmo?

Yes. Lake Elmo and Woodbury are the whole service area. Send your address and we will confirm your spot on the route.
