Yes, Martin Services plows rural and long driveways throughout the Nipissing District, including properties with extended private lanes, farmstead driveways, and cottage access roads. Many Northern Ontario properties have driveways that are 100 metres or longer, and keeping them clear through our heavy winters is essential for daily access and emergency vehicle entry. We serve rural properties across Powassan, North Bay, Callander, and surrounding areas.
Equipment for Long Driveways
Long driveways require different equipment than standard residential lots. Martin Services operates plow trucks sized for the job — our equipment handles long runs efficiently without the multiple passes that smaller plows would need. For particularly long or winding driveways, we may use loader-mounted plows or graders that can push large volumes of snow to the sides without running out of room. We also manage the snow banks along the driveway throughout the season, pushing them back when they encroach on the travel lane.
Rural Road Considerations
Rural properties often present additional factors that affect snow removal. Gravel driveways require a different plow approach than paved surfaces — we adjust blade height to avoid scraping gravel and leaving a mess. Steep sections and curves need careful technique to push snow safely. Long driveways may have turnaround areas, parking pads, or barn access points that also need clearing. Martin Services works with property owners to understand exactly what needs to be plowed and establishes a clear service plan before winter begins.
Pricing for Long Driveways
Long driveway pricing is based on the length and width of the driveway, the number of turnaround or cleared areas, and the distance from our operating base. We quote seasonal contracts as a fixed monthly rate so you know exactly what to budget for the winter. The per-visit alternative is also available, though seasonal contracts guarantee priority service during storms.
