Snow off the drive, salt on the path
Clearpath clears driveways, footpaths and car parks for homes, shops and offices all winter. Season contracts put you on a set route that starts when snow reaches the depth you agreed, and one off call outs are taken whenever the crews have room.

Heavy snow forecast? Contract routes always come first, so one off call outs during a storm may wait until the snow eases, sometimes until the next day. If a path turns icy before we reach you, keep people off it and spread salt or grit if you have some.
Call dispatchSeason contracts
One price covers the whole winter, however often it snows. Each contract is priced after a short daylight visit before the first snow, when we set out markers and agree where the snow can go.
Shop or office front
a season, from$1,150
- Footpath and entrance cleared and salted
- Salting runs on icy nights with no snow
- Daytime passes while you are open
- Visit times logged for your records
Car park
a season, from$3,600
- Lanes and bays cleared by blade
- Piles kept off drains and accessible bays
- Footpaths and ramps salted by hand
- Hauling quoted when piles run out of room
Prices depend on size, slope, surface and how far you are from a route. A season is paid in two halves, at signing and midway through, arranged directly with our office.
One off call outs and extras
Open to anyone, with or without a contract, once the routes are covered. When you call, we give you an honest arrival time, and we ring you if it slips.
One off driveway clear
A single visit to clear a drive and the front path, with salt on the path and the steps afterwards.
Per visitfrom $85
Salting and gritting runs
Paths, steps and ramps treated before a freezing night or after a thaw, when black ice is most likely.
Per runfrom $45
Snow hauled away
Piles loaded and taken off site when a car park runs out of room to store them safely.
Per truck hourfrom $160
Steps and narrow paths by hand
Shovelled and swept where no machine fits: side gates, back steps, ramps and bin stores.
Per visitfrom $40
Porches and low roof edges
Snow raked off porch roofs, carports and garage edges from the ground, never by climbing onto a roof.
Per visitfrom $120
Edge markers set out
Tall markers along kerbs, beds and drains before the first snow, so the blade knows where every edge is.
Per propertyfrom $60
Call outs are taken in the order they come in once the contract routes are done.
What happens on a snow night
Dispatch checks the forecast every evening of the season, and crews go on standby when snow is due. Once the snow on the ground reaches the depth in your contract, the routes start, usually in the small hours, so that drives and car parks are clear before most people leave.
If snow keeps falling, crews go round again rather than waiting for it to stop. Every visit is logged with its time and the depth found, and those logs are yours whenever you need them for your own records or your insurer.
- Forecast checked every evening
- Crews on standby when snow is due
- Each visit logged with time and depth
- Second passes while snow keeps falling
Salt, grit and what each one does
Treating a surface matters as much as clearing it. We choose by temperature, by surface and by what grows or walks nearby.
| What we spread | Works best | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| Rock salt | Just below freezing, before or after snow | Slows down a great deal in deep cold, and can mark new concrete |
| Grit | At any temperature, wherever grip matters | Adds grip but melts nothing, so it is swept up after the thaw |
| Salt and grit mix | Steps, slopes and car park ramps | Melts what it can and gives grip where it cannot |
| A gentler ice melt | New paving, pet paths and beside planted beds | Costs more, so it is kept for places where salt would do harm |
We keep salt off lawns and beds wherever we can, and we tell you when a surface needs a gentler product.
Out on the routes
Photos the crews took last winter, between the first pass and the salting.
From households and site managers (example reviews)
Our drive is steep and we both leave before seven. All winter the plough had been and gone before the alarm, and the path was salted every single time.
During the big storm they told us straight that our car park was the third stop and roughly when they would arrive. They were there within ten minutes of that time and came back twice more that day.
A one off clear on a busy morning. They were honest that it would be the afternoon, and it was, with the steps done by hand and salted before they left.
Questions about winter clearing
When does a contract visit start?
When the snow on the ground reaches the depth in your contract, usually 5 cm. Below that depth we salt rather than clear, unless your contract says otherwise.
What if it snows during the day?
Shop and car park contracts include daytime passes while the site is open. Driveway contracts get another visit once the snow reaches the agreed depth again, and the route order stays the same.
What happens in a very heavy storm?
During heavy snowfall, clearing can only keep up so far. Crews keep looping their routes, contracts come first and call outs wait until there is room, which can mean the next day. We tell you plainly where you are in the queue.
Will the blade damage my drive?
Not if we know the surface. Gravel and block paving are cleared with the blade raised slightly, and the markers placed before the season show the edges of beds, kerbs and drains.
Do you clear snow from roofs?
We rake snow from porches, carports and low roof edges while standing on the ground. We do not climb onto roofs, so if you are worried about the weight of snow on a roof, ask a roofer or a structural engineer.
How is the season paid for?
Half when the contract is signed and half midway through the season. One off call outs are invoiced after the visit, and payment is arranged directly with our office.
Ask for a season price or a call out
