Snow Plowing in Greater Cleveland, OH
Residential driveways and commercial lots cleared, plowed, and hauled — by the same family-owned crew that's been serving Northeast Ohio since 1982.
Roubic Tree & Landscape LLC has provided snow plowing and removal across Greater Cleveland since 1982. We service driveways, commercial parking lots, and HOA private roads throughout Cuyahoga County and Geauga County — including Chagrin Falls, Pepper Pike, Beachwood, Solon, Bainbridge Township, South Russell, Mayfield, and Chesterland. Crews dispatch once accumulated snow reaches our 2-inch plowing trigger, with seasonal contracts available for properties that need guaranteed clearing before the workday begins. Our service area sits in the Ohio snow belt, where annual snowfall ranges from 70 inches in western Cuyahoga County to over 120 inches in eastern Geauga — meaning more plowable storms per season than the Cleveland average and a tighter need for a contractor that shows up.
Snow Plowing & Removal Services
Three core services, all handled in-house — no subcontractors.
Residential Driveway Plowing
Driveway clearing for single-family homes, including the apron, walking paths to the front door, and a salted finish on request. Most residential driveways are cleared in under 20 minutes per visit.
Commercial Parking Lot Clearing
Plowing for retail lots, office complexes, medical buildings, and HOA roads. Overnight and pre-dawn shifts so your lot is open by your first appointment. Lot striping is preserved with rubber-edge plow blades on request.
Snow Hauling & Stockpile Removal
For commercial properties where pushed snow takes up valuable parking spots, we load and haul accumulated snow off-site. Critical for high-turnover lots and end-of-season cleanup before April rains create runoff issues.

Response Time & Availability
Our plowing trigger is 2 inches of accumulated snow. Once that threshold is hit, commercial contract clients are cleared first — typically before 6 AM so lots are open for business. Residential routes follow, with most driveways completed within 4–8 hours of storm end depending on route position and storm severity.
During multi-day storm systems, we make repeat visits to keep accumulation manageable. During declared snow emergencies in Cuyahoga or Geauga County, we extend operating hours and add additional trucks to active routes.
For high-traffic commercial properties — medical buildings, retail centers, restaurants — we offer a 1-inch trigger upgrade with continuous-clearing service during active storms. Talk to us about zero-tolerance contract options.
Two Ways to Pay for Plowing
Choose the contract structure that fits your property and your budget.
| Property Type | Seasonal Contract | Per-Storm Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Residential Driveway | $650 – $1,100 | $55 – $95 per visit |
| Long, Sloped, or Circular Driveway | $1,100 – $1,500 | $95 – $150 per visit |
| Small Commercial Lot (under 10,000 sq ft) | $3,500 – $6,500 | $150 – $400 per push |
| Medium Commercial Lot (10,000–30,000 sq ft) | $6,500 – $12,000 | $400 – $1,200 per push |
| Large Commercial Lot (30,000+ sq ft) | Quote on request | Quote on request |
Final pricing depends on driveway/lot complexity, salting requirements, and snow-hauling needs. We provide written quotes after a brief site visit.
Both options include salting on request and backup crews if the primary truck has equipment trouble — we don't leave a contracted property unplowed.

Snow Plowing — Frequently Asked Questions
When does Roubic plow during a storm?
We dispatch once snow accumulation reaches our 2-inch trigger. Commercial contract clients are cleared first — typically before 6 AM so lots are open for business. Residential routes follow, with most driveways completed within 4–8 hours of storm end. During multi-day storm systems, we make repeat visits to keep accumulation manageable.
How much does snow plowing cost in Greater Cleveland?
For residential driveways in our service area, seasonal contracts typically run $650 to $1,100 and per-storm visits run $55 to $95. Long, sloped, or circular driveways run $1,100 to $1,500 seasonal or $95 to $150 per storm. Commercial lot pricing depends on square footage and complexity — small lots typically run $3,500 to $6,500 seasonal, with per-push pricing from $150 to $400. We provide a written quote after a brief site visit.
Do you salt or just plow?
We plow as the primary service and salt on request. Salting is included with most commercial contracts and available as an add-on for residential visits. We use rock salt for parking lots and finer-grain ice melt for residential walking paths.
What's the difference between a seasonal contract and per-storm service?
A seasonal contract is one flat rate covering every storm from November 15 through April 1. Per-storm service charges per visit, only when we plow. Contracts make sense for commercial properties, anyone with a long driveway, or anyone who can't risk being snowed in. Per-storm works for properties in mild snow zones or second homes. In our snow-belt service area — where annual snowfall ranges from 70 to 120+ inches — most residential clients save money on seasonal contracts after about 12 plowable storms.
Do you plow private HOA roads and shared driveways?
Yes. We service HOA private roads, condo complexes, shared rural driveways, and gated communities throughout Geauga and eastern Cuyahoga County. For HOA boards, we provide annual seasonal proposals that lock in rates and define response priorities.
What size storms trigger a plow visit?
Our standard trigger is 2 inches of accumulated snow. Some commercial contracts use a lower 1-inch trigger for high-turnover properties like medical buildings, retail centers, and restaurants. Residential clients can request a custom trigger when signing a seasonal contract.
Are you insured for commercial snow work?
Yes. Roubic carries full general liability and commercial auto insurance. Certificates of Insurance (COI) are issued same-day to property managers and HOA boards on request.
What service area do you cover?
Our snow services cover the same Northeast Ohio service area as our tree care: Cuyahoga County (Beachwood, Pepper Pike, Solon, Mayfield, Lyndhurst, and surrounding suburbs) and Geauga County (Chagrin Falls, Bainbridge, South Russell, Auburn, Chesterland). We also service select properties in western Lake County. Call (440) 294-8002 to confirm your address.
Why is snow plowing more expensive in Geauga County than Cleveland proper?
Geauga County sits in the heart of the Ohio snow belt — places like Chardon and Hambden Township average over 120 inches of annual snowfall, compared to roughly 70 inches in downtown Cleveland. More snow per season means more plow visits, heavier accumulations per storm, and more equipment wear. Snow plowing pricing in eastern suburbs reflects the additional events and labor hours required across a typical winter.
