Snow Shoveling for Seniors North of Boston

A shoveled front walk and steps with a handrail and a shovel by the door — A cleared walk and steps with a rail.

What this is

Walks and steps cleared after a snowfall, so an older parent, relative or neighbor does not have to go out and shovel. You pick the plan and pay. Your pass page shows each visit as it is done.

Prices

Front walk: from $55 a visit, or $260 for up to 12 visits this season, steps included.
Front and back walks: from $55 a visit, or $340 for up to 12 visits this season, steps included.
Steps and stoop (added to a plow visit): $15 front, $20 front and back, before the visit minimum.
Salt or sand on the walks: $15 each time, or $60 for the season.

Every per-visit plan has a $55 minimum visit. The form shows the total for your walks, steps and salt before you request the plan.

The season price covers up to 12 visits for snowfalls of 2 inches or more, up to 10 inches per visit. Extra visits are billed at the per-visit price. The path to the car, mailbox and hydrant are priced after you tell us what is needed.

Why shoveling is a heart risk

With known or suspected heart disease or risk factors for it, have someone else do the snow removal.¹ On chest pain or pressure, lightheadedness or heart palpitations, stop shoveling immediately, and call 9-1-1 if symptoms do not ease soon after you stop.² Cold weather puts extra strain on the heart, and with heart disease or high blood pressure you should follow your doctor's advice about shoveling snow.³

If a family member wants to arrange this for a parent, the form on this page is the fastest way. We text the family member after each visit if they ask.

Questions

Can I book and pay for my parent?

Yes. Use the form below, check "I am booking for someone else", and add their name and phone. You are the contact and you pay. We do not text your parent unless they agree to it.

Do you plow the driveway too?

This plan is for walks, steps and the path to the car. If the driveway needs plowing, see the seasonal pass at /seasonal-snow-plowing-contract/ or the per-visit quote at /quote/. Walks are cheaper when added to a plow visit.

What do the walk prices cover?

A front walk starts at $55 a visit, or $55 for front and back walks. The $55 minimum visit applies to every per-visit plan. Steps add $15 to $20 before the minimum; salt or sand adds $15.

What about the mailbox, hydrant or a ramp?

Tell us in the notes box. We look at it, then confirm by text what we will clear and any extra cost before the first storm.

When do you shovel?

After a storm of 2 in or more. Your pass page shows each visit as it is done. Ice that is already frozen to the ground may need salt and a second visit.

What if the person at the address is not home?

You do not need to be there. We work from the outside and clear to the door. If someone should be told before we come, put that in the notes.

How does the deposit work?

For the season plan, $100 holds the spot and comes off the total. The rest is due December 1. The $100 deposit is fully refundable until December 1, when the balance is due. A per-visit plan has no deposit.
