How Snow Removal Works in Janesville
Updated
Four steps. Most of the planning happens before the first snow; after that, it is a route and a clock.

1. Tell us the property
The address, the driveway (one car, two car, long rural drive, steep apron), the walks and steps you want cleared, and whether the public sidewalk is included. Mention anything the plow should avoid: a low wall, landscaping, a gravel edge.
2. Get both prices
We replies with a per-push price and a season price. The local published range is $40 to $75 a push and $400 to $900 a season for a standard driveway. Nothing is scheduled until you say yes.
3. Stakes in, before the ground freezes
Snow stakes along each edge of the driveway show the operator where the pavement ends, so the blade stays off the lawn, the landscaping and the curb.
4. It snows, it gets cleared
Driveway plowed and the snow stacked on your property, never across the street. Walks and steps shoveled or blown, salt where it ices, and the public sidewalk done inside Janesville's 12 hours.
The clocks that drive the timing
- 12 hours to clear the public sidewalk in Janesville after the snow stops (Beloit 48, Milton 24 for homes and 10 a.m. for businesses). See the sidewalk rules.
- 10 to 12 hours for city crews to plow every street once 2 to 3 inches have fallen, which is when the windrow lands at the end of a cleared driveway.
- A winter weather emergency means every car off the street until plowing is done. See emergency parking.
What helps the quote
- Driveway length and width, and whether it is concrete, asphalt or gravel.
- Steps, stoops, a long front walk, or a corner lot with two frontages.
- Where the snow can be stacked on a narrow lot.
- The time you need to be out, if you leave early or run a business.
Every price range is on the cost page.
Start with step one
The address and what needs clearing. That's all the form needs.
