Snow Plowing Contracts in Greater Portland
A snow plowing contract puts your driveway on our storm list before winter starts. Service starts when snow reaches 2 inches, we monitor the weather 24/7, and every visit is logged with a timestamp for your records.
What a contract covers
Driveway plowing, walkway shoveling, front steps and porch, ice melt and de-icing, sand for traction, and mailbox access. Tell us what must be open for work or school and we write it into the contract.
Seasonal or per-event plans
A seasonal plan covers the whole winter, so there are no per-storm surprises. A per-event plan bills only for the storms we service, based on accumulation. We go over both with your estimate.
Sign up before the first storm
We quote snow contracts ahead of winter, and spots fill before the first real storm. Estimates are free and same-week, so the driveway is on our list when the snow starts.
What does residential snow removal cost in Maine?
Free estimate — price before we start
Seasonal snow contracts are priced from the driveway, walkways, and how you want ice handled. We quote before the first storm. No published dollar range — lots and access vary too much.
Every job starts with a free, no-obligation estimate. You get the exact price for your property before we book.

We are so pleased with the fall clean up job by Garden Guys Landscaping. Led by Liam, the team was professional, efficient and returned to complete one final component of the job in a timely fashion. They are always so kind to our children too who love to jump in the enormous pile of leaves that they collect!

Couldn't be more impressed with Garden Guys, Jack, and his team. Both plowing and lawncare. 100% responsive, always communicating on the status of work to be done and checking afterwards to ensure satisfaction. One of Jack's team came to inspect my lawn a couple hours after it was mowed.
