Keep Your Driveway Open All Winter

Seasonal snow removal for residential driveways and properties in Marion.

When a winter storm drops eight inches of snow overnight in Marion, getting out of your driveway without heavy equipment becomes nearly impossible. Snow removal services clear driveways, turnarounds, and access roads so you can leave for work, receive deliveries, and move around your property without getting stuck. This is especially important on rural lots with long driveways or properties where the town plow doesn't reach.


Regional Excavating offers seasonal snow removal for residential properties across Marion and surrounding areas. The service uses equipment suited for larger driveways and lots, including skid steers, pickups, and plows that can push and pile snow without damaging gravel or pavement. You can arrange for scheduled plowing after every storm or call for service as needed when accumulation makes access difficult.

How Equipment-Based Snow Removal Works

Snow removal in Marion starts once accumulation reaches a height that makes driving difficult, usually around four to six inches depending on conditions. The crew arrives with a skid steer, pickup, or plow  and pushes snow off the driveway and into piles along the edges of the property where it won't block access or drainage. The equipment is heavy enough to cut through packed snow and ice but controlled enough to avoid tearing up gravel or catching on pavement edges.


After plowing, you'll see clear pavement or gravel where your driveway was buried, with snow piled neatly on either side. The surface may still have a thin layer of packed snow or ice depending on temperature, but it will be passable for vehicles. If your driveway is gravel, some stone may get pushed into the snow piles and will need to be raked back in the spring.


Snow removal does not include shoveling walkways, salting, or ice treatment unless arranged separately. Regional Excavating focuses on clearing driveways and access roads wide enough for equipment to operate safely. If you have specific areas you want cleared or avoided, those can be marked before the season starts.

Questions About Snow Removal Service

Property owners arranging snow removal often ask about timing, equipment, and what happens to the snow after it's plowed.

How often is snow removed during a storm?
Most residential customers in Marion are plowed once per storm after accumulation stops. If you need mid-storm service or multiple passes, that can be arranged depending on availability.
What types of driveways can be plowed?
The service works on paved, gravel, and stone driveways. Very steep or narrow driveways may require smaller equipment or additional care to avoid damage.
Where does the snow get piled?
Snow is pushed to the edges of the driveway or into open areas on your property. The crew avoids piling snow near doors, mailboxes, or drainage areas unless there's no other option.
Can you remove snow from parking areas or turnarounds?
Yes, as long as the area is accessible and large enough for the equipment to maneuver. Parking pads and turnarounds are often included in seasonal service agreements.
When should I schedule snow removal?
It's best to arrange service before the season starts so you're on the schedule when the first storm hits. You can also call for as-needed service, but availability depends on demand and storm timing.
