2026–2027 snow clearance register

Snowblowers only — never a plow — so your driveway, lawn edges and landscaping come through winter the way they went into it. Residential and commercial, in Newton, Lexington, Arlington, Belmont and Waltham. Places on the round are limited.

Register now

Snow clearance runs on a fixed round, worked by one person with snowblowers. After a storm there are only so many hours before people need to get out of their driveways — which puts a hard limit on how many properties can be on the round and still be cleared properly.

That limit is the reason the register closes. Once the season starts, the properties on the list are the properties that get cleared; there's no adding a driveway mid-storm. Registering before 30 September is what secures a place for the winter.

Snow clearance

Driveways, paths and access areas cleared with snowblowers, no matter the depth.

Deicing

Treatment to keep cleared surfaces safe once the snow is off them.

Residential & commercial

Both, on the same register. Commercial properties with early-morning access needs are worth flagging when you sign up.

Where it runs

Snow clearance covers a tighter area than James's other work — Newton, Lexington, Arlington, Belmont and Waltham only. A snowblower round has to stay compact to get everyone cleared in the hours after a storm.

Pricing

Charged per cubic foot, per snow event — so you pay for the snow that actually falls, not a flat fee for a winter that might be mild. James will confirm the rate for your property before the season starts.

Plows are quick, and they're also what scrapes up driveway surfaces, tears lawn edges and buries mailboxes. Every property on this register is cleared with snowblowers. It takes longer. Nothing underneath gets wrecked.
