Hansen's Lawn Care plows residential driveways and small commercial properties across Woodbury, Oakdale, Lake Elmo, Cottage Grove, and Maplewood. Trigger depths, route order, and seasonal pricing are all set in writing before the first storm so there's no scramble in the middle of a blizzard. We watch the National Weather Service Twin Cities forecast for dispatch timing.
Our snow plowing commitment
-
Clear trigger depth
Default 2" automatic dispatch. Custom triggers for medical, daycare, or rental properties.
-
Predictable windows
Routes are sequenced so you know roughly what time we'll be there each storm.
-
Damage-aware
Drive markers, careful approach on aprons, and we don't pile snow against garage doors.
Pricing options
Per-storm or seasonal flat rate. Your call.
Some homeowners want to pay per push so light winters cost less. Others want one number for the whole season so it's easy to budget and they don't think about it again. We offer both and quote each at the start of the season.
- Per-push: pay only for the storms that come
- Seasonal flat rate: one price covers the whole season, heavy or light
- Sidewalks and walkway shoveling available as add-on

Frequently asked
Common snow plowing questions
-
When do you start plowing after a storm?
Trucks roll once accumulation hits the agreed trigger depth (2" by default). On overnight storms we're typically through residential routes by mid-morning. Commercial pre-business-hours routes get cleared earlier.
-
Do you salt or sand?
We offer ice control as a separate add-on, primarily for commercial properties and walkways. Most residential customers don't need it on driveways, but it's available.
-
What if the city plow comes through after you?
We add a follow-up pass to clear the apron at the end of your driveway as part of seasonal service. Per-push customers can request the follow-up as a separate billable visit.
-
Do I need to mark the driveway?
We strongly recommend driveway markers (cheap, easy to install). They prevent damage to lawns and pavers along the driveway edge, especially after the curb-line snow piles up.
Hansen's Lawn Care has served us on two occasions over the past few years. My husband is in the military and sometimes travels for many months at a time. Hansen's has offered us a contract with a flexibly set time to cover our lawn and snow removal needs while he's been away. Other companies we considered required a year's or whole season contract, so we have loved working with Hansen's.
