Snow removal — plowed, salted, paid.
This is THE seasonal side business: the first real snowfall, and the phone doesn't stop. SideWRK prices every push from your own menu — driveway, walks, salt — sends a branded invoice, puts what you cleared and treated on the record with a timestamp, and books the same route storm after storm.

Built for snow and ice work — in one app
Priced per push, from your menu
Driveway sizes, walks and steps, salting, the full storm package, a roof rake — each service is a tap with your price on it, editable per job. A 14-inch storm isn't a 4-inch push; the estimate keeps up.
The storm route, on repeat
Put contract customers on a recurring plan and rebill in a tap — same driveways, every storm, all winter. One customer list keeps the route coming back next season, before the first flake falls.
Cleared and treated, on the record
Snap the cleared driveway with a timestamp, and note what was salted and what was left — hardpack under a parked car, ice you advised treating. When the refreeze question comes up later, you have the record.
Customers approve from their phone
Send a branded approval link. Your customer sees the estimate and taps Approve — logged with their name, the time, and the amount, so the seasonal price is agreed before the season starts.
Get paid your way
Take a card in the app, or send a tap-to-pay request to Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, or Zelle — no merchant account, no waiting. Jobs flip to Paid the moment the balance hits zero.
Real profit, not just revenue
Fuel, ice-melt, shear pins, the plow's wear — each carries a private "your cost" the customer never sees. The Money tab shows what the storm actually netted you by the time the route was done.
From first call to "paid" in three steps
Write it up
Add the customer and the site — driveway size, surfaces to clear, where the snow piles — then tap the work: plow, walks, salt. Send a branded estimate before the storm lands.
Send it
Text or email the estimate. The customer reviews it and taps Approve — authorization logged automatically, so the route is set before you drop the blade.
Get paid
It becomes a numbered invoice with your details and the cleared-and-salted record on it. Record payment, and your real profit lands in Money.
What should snow removal cost?
Snow is priced per visit, tiered for depth, with walks and salting billed on top — or sold as a seasonal contract before the first storm. Here's what the work runs in 2026, plus a free snow removal calculator to price it.
Per visit
Most per-visit driveway prices land between $30 and $75, and a standard residential job commonly runs $50–$100 once walks and salt are on the ticket. Depth tiers keep the deep storms paying like the work they are.
Walks & salting extra
Sidewalks and steps typically add $10–$30 per visit, and salting or de-icing runs $20–$60 depending on the area and what the ice-melt costs you. Bill each as its own line — it keeps the base plow price honest.
Seasonal contracts
Seasonal contracts commonly run $350–$600, with a full range of roughly $300–$1,000 for long or heavy-snow routes. Sold before the first storm, they smooth your income and fill the route while everyone else waits for the phone.

Add landscaping — summer routes, winter routes, same customers.
The classic combo works both ways: the lawn guys plow in winter, and the plow guys mow in summer. Your storm route already knows you and trusts you — the same driveway you clear in January needs mowing in June. The Multi-Trade plan runs both trades from one login for $15/mo more than Single Trade, and one storm route covers the difference for the year. Plans are month-to-month — add a trade for the season and drop back after, right from Billing.
SideWRK for Landscaping →Snow Removal FAQ
Can I put my regulars on a seasonal route?
Yes — put contract customers on a recurring plan and rebill in a tap, storm after storm. Per-push customers stay one-off. Snow money is route money: the same driveways, every storm, all winter.
Do I need to install anything?
No — SideWRK runs in any phone browser, nothing to download. Everything syncs to the cloud, so your phone in the truck at 5 a.m. and your laptop at night see the same data.
What should I charge to plow a driveway?
Most 2026 per-visit prices land between $30 and $75 for a typical driveway, and a standard residential job commonly runs $50 to $100 once walkways and salting are on the ticket. Sidewalks add $10 to $30, salting $20 to $60, and depth is the multiplier — a 14-inch storm is not a 4-inch push. Use the free snow removal calculator to find your number.
Per push or seasonal contract?
Both. Per-push pays best in a heavy winter; seasonal contracts — commonly $350 to $600 for the season, with a full range of roughly $300 to $1,000 — smooth your income and lock the route in before the first storm. Most operators sell contracts to regulars and keep per-push for everyone else.
How much does it cost?
Single Trade is $24/month for one trade. Multi-Trade is $39/month for every trade. Pro is $89/month for full-time operators. Every plan starts with 14 free days — no card required. You're only charged after you pick a plan. There's no permanent free tier.
