Almost nobody in this market publishes a price. One Cleveland contractor does, and this page runs those figures against Mayfield Heights — where the sidewalk ordinance exempts residential property outright and gives commercial owners twelve hours. Mayfield Heights measured 5.0″ at Mayfield in the late-November 2024 lake-effect event.
Codified Ordinance § 559.05(a) — and read the carve-out, because it is unusual: the duty runs to property “unless zoned residentially.” Commercial owners must keep the abutting walk clear of snow and ice within a reasonable time ordinarily not exceeding 12 hours after the storm abates. Minor misdemeanor.
| Service | Price | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Residential, whole season | $550 – $1,250 | The one Cleveland contractor publishing openly — east-side inner ring, Nov 15 to Apr 1, 2″ trigger |
| Per push, standard driveway | $50+ | Same, “depending on size and technicality” |
| 12×30 single-car driveway, per visit | $40 – $50 | A Cleveland cost page compiled with contractor feedback |
| 24×60 two-car driveway, per visit | $80 – $100 | Same |
| Snow blowing, hourly | $49 – $73/hr | Same |
The band is real but it is east-side inner-ring pricing. A snow-belt quote has a higher event count behind it and will show it. Since no belt price list exists in public, this site explains what moves the number instead of printing one.
Here is the honest version of the season-versus-per-push question. There is no published count of days with two inches or more anywhere in this metro, so the only defensible denominator is a west-side Cleveland operator’s own planning figure: 16 snow removal occurrences in an average winter. Sixteen at $50 is $800, which falls inside the $550–$1,250 band.
Now correct it for where you are. The primary belt takes two to three times the airport’s snowfall, and NWS Cleveland puts a normal season here at 70 to over 100 inches. Against that, a per-push arrangement is an open-ended bill. A season contract caps it, and it fixes your place in the route order — which is the only thing that matters at six in the morning after a week like late November 2024, when the belt took two to five feet in five days.
§ 559.05(a), and the carve-out is the whole story: the duty runs to property “unless zoned residentially.” If you own a storefront or a lot here, the walk has to be clear ordinarily within 12 hours of the storm abating. If you own a house, the ordinance asks nothing of you.
No snow-triggered parking ban was located. What exists is a general overnight restriction, 2:00 to 6:00 a.m.
§ 559.05(b) is one of the strongest deposit clauses in the metro, and it reaches you rather than only your contractor: no person removing snow “or causing snow to be removed” from any driveway, walk, lot or premises may deposit it on a public street, pavement, sidewalk or any tree lawn except the one immediately in front of the property it came from. Piles may not block a pedestrian’s or driver’s sight line.
Chapter 775, “Snow Plow Operators.” No person may remove snow from private driveways or parking areas in the city without a certificate of registration from the Director of Buildings. Fee $25.00 for the first vehicle and $5.00 for each additional, not prorated, with the registration period running October 1 to May 1.
Postwar automobile-suburb stock, much of it 1950s and 1960s, on regular lots with attached and detached garages both common.
That mix matters at quoting time. One address here is a single pass across an apron; the next is a narrow drive the depth of the lot. The city name alone does not tell an operator which one they are pricing.
Being in the primary lake-effect belt changes the quote before the driveway is measured, because the number of visits in a season is the biggest term in it. Where the belt starts → · Everything else about Mayfield Heights →
The address, the driveway, the frontage and how much of the season you want covered. That is what turns the published band into a price.
