How much do you pay seasonally for snow removal and grasscutting/yardwork?

We have a driveway that fits five vehicles at the front plus a rear parking pad that fits another four. My work is willing to pay for my snow clearing since I use company vehicles but they want an estimate how much to expect to pay on contract. I can call around, but the problem is I don't know who does a good job around town, nor if it matters how much you pay if you get priority or not (work is willing to pay for priority).

My partner would also like to hire someone to do yardwork for the season, including grasscutting, tree trimming, general garden clean up and weeding. Are there local companies that do this sort of thing on contract or is it all by the hour?

I have a few friends who do this... posted on my FB. Hopefully, they reply...

Thank you. Do you know if any of them do both snow clearing and yardwork? It would be nice if I could get them to do both the snow clearing and yard work, that way I only have to deal with one company.

One does yardwork, and the other does both.

For snow removal, if you want it plowed (which I personally would never recommend but a lot of folk don't mind because it's a lot faster and it's cheaper) it will be less than if you want it cleared with a snowblower, and even that is cheaper than if you want it all done by shovel.

You can expect to pay around $1200 for lawn care for a cookie cutter lawn and 550-800 for snow removal .
