Residential Snow Removal
Helping you keep your driveway cleared
Minnesota winters bring enough work. Let The Grounds Crew handle your driveway and walkways with residential snow removal that helps keep your home accessible throughout the season. From routine snowfalls to heavier storms, our team follows a clear process for clearing your property.
How Our Residential Snow Removal Works
At The Grounds Crew, we make sure your home stays safe and accessible all winter long with reliable, professional snow removal.
Standard Snowfalls
- As soon as the snow has stopped, our team begins clearing your property.
- Driveways are plowed, and walkways are shoveled for a safe, clear path.
Heavy Snow Events (6+ inches)
When a storm won’t quit, we take a two-step approach to keep you from getting stuck at home:
- Initial Pass-Through: During the storm, we perform a plow-only pass of our residential route. This quickly clears the bulk of the snow (without shoveling) so your driveway remains passable.
- Full Cleanup: After the snowfall ends, we return for a complete service—shoveling driveways, walkways, and other key areas.
This ensures you have continuous access to your home, even during prolonged snowstorms.
Communication & Extra Services
- Email Alerts: During significant snowfalls, we’ll send an email reminder to move cars from your driveway so we can clear it efficiently.
- After Plows Pass: If the city plow leaves a pile at the end of your driveway, you can easily request next-day cleanup through our client portal.

Residential Snow Removal FAQ
How much does residential snow removal cost in the Twin Cities?
Residential snow removal costs depend on your driveway size, property layout, areas needing clearing, and the service agreement. When comparing quotes, check whether walkways, steps, and ice treatments are included or priced separately. Request a quote from The Grounds Crew for pricing specific to your property.
Is hiring a snow removal service worth it?
Professional snow removal can be worthwhile if you want to save time, avoid the physical work of shoveling, or stop maintaining your own snow removal equipment. It can also help homeowners who travel during winter or have difficulty keeping up with repeated snowfalls. Consider how much time you spend clearing snow and which areas of your property need attention.
When should I arrange snow removal for winter?
Start looking before the first significant snowfall so you have time to compare providers, request quotes, and review service terms. Planning ahead gives you an opportunity to arrange service before you need your driveway cleared. If winter has already started, contact providers to ask about current availability.
What should I look for when hiring a residential snow removal company?
Look for clear communication, relevant customer reviews, and a written agreement explaining the work. Ask which areas will be cleared, what snowfall amount triggers service, when clearing takes place, and how heavier storms are handled. Understanding those details helps you compare quotes and choose a service that fits your needs.
What is the difference between seasonal and per-visit snow removal?
Seasonal snow removal generally covers qualifying snowfalls during a defined contract period, while per-visit service charges for individual clearings. Seasonal agreements may include snowfall limits, visit limits, or additional charges, so review the terms carefully. When comparing providers, ask which arrangements they offer and what each includes.
