Clearing What You Need to Get In and Out
Every property is different, so snow removal starts with what needs clearing at your place. That might be the driveway and a turnaround, a parking area, or the route a fuel truck needs to reach the house. If something has to stay reachable all winter, such as an oil fill pipe, a propane tank or a generator, tell us when you call so it's part of the plan from the first storm.
The Snow Season Around Glens Falls
The first snow around Glens Falls usually comes in November, and storms can keep coming into March. Getting on the list in October means your property is known before the first storm, rather than added in the middle of one. A snowy winter means more visits, so the cost of a season depends on the weather as much as on the property.
Where the Snow Goes
Snow has to go somewhere, and where it's piled matters for the rest of the winter. Piles should sit away from the walk, the mailbox and the end of the driveway, where the town plow adds more, and downhill of paved areas so meltwater doesn't run back across them and freeze overnight. Picking those spots before the first storm keeps the piles from blocking sight lines or burying something you need.
Ice and Meltwater
Snow that melts on a sunny afternoon refreezes after dark, which is why ice forms in the same places every winter: at the bottom of a sloped drive, under a roof edge and wherever a pile drains across pavement. Knowing those spots helps plan where snow is piled. On new concrete, skip rock salt during the first winter and use sand for traction instead.

Call in the Fall
Get on the list before the first storm, so we know your property, what needs clearing and anything that has to stay reachable.
01Mark the Edges
Put stakes along the driveway, the walks and any lawn edges before the ground freezes. Under a foot of snow, the edge of the drive looks the same as the lawn.
02Clear the Way
Pick up hoses, decorations, toys and anything else that could end up buried where the snow gets cleared.
03Plan the Piles
Choose where the snow can go: away from the walk and the mailbox, and not where meltwater will run back across the drive and freeze.

Planning Snow Removal for the Season
Answering a few questions now saves time when the first storm arrives.

When to Call About Snow Removal
In the fall, ideally by October. The first snow usually arrives in November, and properties already on the list are known before the first storm instead of being added during one.
- 02
What Affects the Cost of Snow Removal
A short driveway costs less to clear than a long one with a turnaround and a parking area, and a snowy winter means more visits. Steep drives and tight spots take longer, and so does anything that has to be worked around carefully.

What to Tell Us
Where the property is, what needs clearing, and whether you'd like service after every storm or only the larger ones. Mention anything buried under the snow that we should know about.

Call (518) 760-1339Frequently Asked Questions About Snow Removal
Before the first storm, ideally in October. That way we know your property and what needs clearing before the snow comes, instead of adding you in the middle of a storm.
It depends on how much there is to clear, how often it snows and how the property is laid out. A short driveway costs less than a long one with a turnaround. Call with the details and we'll give you a price.
Off the driveway if you can, or at one end of it. A car in the middle of the drive leaves a strip that can't be cleared.
Yes. Put stakes along the edges of the driveway, the walks and any lawn edges before the ground freezes. Under a foot of snow, the edge of the drive looks the same as the lawn, and stakes protect both.
Hoses, decorations, toys, loose edging and anything else that could end up buried where the snow gets cleared. Anything left in the path is hard to see and easy to damage.
Away from the walk, the mailbox and the end of the driveway, and downhill of paved areas, so meltwater drains away instead of refreezing across them.
Tell us where it is when you call, and mark it with a tall stake if it sits off the driveway. Fuel deliveries need a clear path, and a buried fill pipe or tank is easy to miss after a big storm.
Used sparingly on older asphalt and well-cured concrete, yes. Skip it on concrete in its first winter, because de-icers are hard on new concrete, and use sand for traction instead.
Yes. From spring through fall, Elevated Outdoors handles excavation, tree removal, lawn maintenance, land clearing, landscaping and hardscaping, so you can call the same company all year.
