Snow Blowing Vs Snow Plowing:
Alright, so here is my take on differentiating between snow blowing and snow plowing.
I would like to say right off the hop that there is no comparison; snow blowing is the superior service hands down. Often when I quote snow removal with a commercial blower, my clients are a little taken back on my price when compared to other snow plow quotes. Our snow removal quotes reflect the quality of service each client will receive that is specific to their individual property. The service we provide mitigates a lot of the issues clients have when using a snow plow contractor such as: Damaged driveways, damage to garage doors and building facades, torn up lawns, the allocation of placing large mounds of snow, the melting of large snow mounds around building foundations and finally, the potential water damage that this melting can cause. Furthermore, plowing can cause damage to driveways which can be an added expense in the spring once the snow has melted. This includes the upheaval of crushed stone and potential surface damage to interlock and paved drives.
This is how Harbourview Property Management does snow removal:
We shovel entrances, walkways and a minimum of 6 feet from garage doors/ buildings and vehicles which eliminate the potential of a client’s property from getting hit or damaged from machinery. We use a commercial blower which allows us to choose the most appropriate location to blow the snow away from your foundation as we do not have the same limitations of a plow. We save our clients’ money by not having the additional cost of having large mounds of snow to be removed off site once the plow runs out of room to push the snow. By blowing snow, we are able to manipulate and spread the snow out over large areas, even in heavy snowfall seasons. Blowing snow also gives us a unique advantage to get into tight spaces as we are able to blow snow over large retaining walls, fences and hedges.
So, with all that being said, snow blowing might seem like the more expensive option upfront, but with all factors considered, it just might be the best option for you and your pocket book in the end!

Good evening. We would be interested if you could give us and our daughter a quote to snow blow our driveways and tell us what services you provide for that. The person we have now does not come and we have to call all the time to get a quick blow at the end of the driveway. We have a wheel chair lift at the end of the driveway for my wife’s mother and we need the drive way clear at all times in case she has to get out. Most times she uses a walker but sometimes her wheel chair.
