Residential and Private Driveways

WINTER
Picture
During our winter months impending snowfall can cause private roadway/driveway challenges. County Council determined (2008) that as a priority the County must clear public roadways so basic services can be maintained; including school busing, propane delivery, emergency service(s) access, etc. Therefore our graders no longer provide grading service to residences. If you require snow removal assistance, a partial list of local contractors is provided:

SUMMER

Driveway Grading
During the summer months graders continue to grade driveways, when timing permits. The service can be arranged by contacting the County Office. Minimum charge is $60, which covers 15 minutes. Any additional time is charged out at $4.00/minute. A waiver must be signed prior to the grader entering your property.
