Hello,
This will be my first winter in the snow removal business here in Ohio (I've been landscaping and mowing lawns all summer long in my first 6 months of business). We had several blizzards up here last winter (10 to 12 inches a couple of times, but mostly in the 4-8 inch range), but it is unpredictable, might not even snow this year (I didn't have a blower so I got a lot of exercise shoveling my own driveway). I basically plan to clear driveways and sidewalks (maybe in the future I'll get a plow for bigger jobs).
Anyway, for you veterans of the residential snow removal biz, what equipment should I get? What brand of snow thrower? What model? I understand there are single and double stage throwers, which works the best? Anything I'll need other than a snow thrower, a pick-up truck, a battery charger, a shovel and a thermos of soup?
Oh, and what prices do you generally charge for your services?
Thanks for the advice!
