M in 7th grade and starting a snow removal company and tips or tricks some of u vets of the trade can tell me

I'm not a veteran by any means, but here are some tips I can think of. First of all, do you have a snowblower or will you just be using shovels?
A snowblower is a super good investment. If you are going to be using shovels, I would recommend you have 2 different types of shovels, one for "plowing" (pushing the snow), and another if you are going to be throwing/lifting the snow when you get to the end or side of the driveway (picture attached).

Also, I don't know a good price for snow removal in your area (it depends on the competition and driveway size), but don't under-charge people. It may look like only a bit of snow but once you start moving it, and can be a big job (especially if the snow is wet OR deep). If you would like to ask them if they would like you to brush of their car of snow, it would be a way to get them to pay you more.
So you could do snow removal on their:

• Driveway
• Sidewalk
• Walkway
• Car
• Back porch/deck

Good luck! :smile:

That should be good. :thumbsup: It is your choice if you want to get any salt or ice melt to put down after you shovel, but I don't do that.

remember, if you salt the driveway dont use alot. only use it on the ice. if you have to do the whole driveway use sand. the salt eats away at the pavement and the sand doesnt do to much of that. its good to do that for people for free because you may be able to get an extra tip:thumbsup:
