Snow Plow Terms and Conditions:

• Snow Plowing rates cover 6 Months each season (Oct. 15 – Apr. 15). Snowfalls outside of these dates will be billed on a per occurrence basis regardless of service plan and number of visits-to-date. Snow plowing before or after these dates is possible, but very rare.

• Quality Seasons, Inc. retains no responsibility for any damage to driveways, walkways or patio surfaces from our snow plows, shovels, snow blowers or vehicles. Wear and tear is expected. Rust marks may develop on pavement from friction of steel plow blades.
• Quality Seasons, Inc. retains no responsibility for any damage to driveways, walkways, patios, landscaping, etc. due to ice melt products.
• Turf damage due to snow plowing will be repaired at no charge (for active service clients only) using premium seed in late April or early May (when ground temps are consistently above 50º). Clients who end service forfeit this complimentary option. Any turf damage due to ice melt products or harsh winter conditions can be repaired using our “It’s a Miracle” Seeding Service.
• Roof Raking/Deck Shoveling Service: We use plastic shovels and or plastic or aluminum roof rakes. We are not responsible for damage to shingles or rubber membranes or decking material due to removing snow from roofs or decks. Our crews are trained not to chip or break ice away from your home. When ice is present, we recommend using a contractor that uses hot steaming to melt away ice. Our teams will simply remove the snow to expose any ice that needs to be addressed separately.
• Snowfalls that are more than 4″ of snow at one time, will be billed a per-time rate for each 4″ increment. Example: if we receive 7″ of snow and only one visit was performed, it will count as two visits. If we clear 12″ of snow during one visit, it will count as 3 visits, etc.
