DRIVEWAY CLEARING SERVICE

SNOW BLOWING & DRIVEWAY CLEARING

Efficiency, timing and quality of clearing is our goals. To serve our customers and create ease of access to there drive with as little effort as possible.

One Two Punch

As timing of storms is unpredictable, to be most effective in creating access for our customer in a short amount of time. When needed, we will do a one two punch. First punch is creating access with a quick clear, just enough to allow you to get in and out.

Second punch either in early PM or early AM depending on the start of first punch. We will do a finish clearing pole to pole and in front of Mail box..

Regular AM clearing with PM Berm and mail box clearing:

When it looks like it is just an overnight storm, CP is out clearing all driveways completely full width and length of drive. With a goal to have all driveways cleared by 8 AM or sooner…. (This is just our goal not a guarantee)

NEW FOR 2024 SEASON

2022/23 was amazing and brutal for homeowners and businesses alike here in Truckee. Most snow removal companies in the area are restructuring the snow removal business. We will be following suite and making changes as well. We will be implementing a new pricing model that is fair for Glenshire on the light and average winters and fair for Taylor Snow Removal to be a sustainable business in heavier years. New this season is our base rate. Base rate contract is valid for 25 plows. On average we never go past this amount. After we have reached our 25 plows there will be an option to renew your contract on a $25 per week basis for the remainder of the contracted season. For example, say we plowed 25 times up until March 18th. But there is still 4 weeks left until the primary contract end date if you would like to renew it will be an extra $100 for the rest of the season. This plan only goes into effect on big winters and only applies to the residential side not Commercial or Private Roads.
