Our first plow guy was our neighbor, who had plowed for the previous owner and other neighbors. He did a pretty good job on our 800’ driveway and parking area. But he also knocked over a couple stone walls, a couple of shrubs, our garden fence, and our mailbox. We dealt with it for a few years bc he was a neighbor, but then my partner got aggravated when he would come when there was only 2”, or he would plow every 3” or so in a multi-inch storm and charge for multiple plows. Eventually my partner tried to manage him (wouldn’t even call it micro managing), and they came to the mutual decision to fire each other. We already had someone else we knew already lined up, and he is great. We don’t have to tell him anything. He does an awesome job, sands when needed, and since I’m home during the day, I’m able to move cars around so everything gets cleared. We also tip at the end of the season. These guys work hard and when you find a good one, don’t piss them off!
