Snow Removal and Lawn Care

[Dustin Schaefer]

Hello BP! I am hoping to get an idea of what landlords in the Madison, WI market are paying for snow removal and salting. Do you salt every visit or restrict that to only certain times/times? I am currently paying roughly $190/trip for snow removal and salting for snow accumulation of 1-3”. It the first multi-family I’ve had to use snow removal service at and want to make sure I’m being fiscally responsible while still ensuring my tenants safety. Thoughts and suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thank you for the help! Dustin

@Dustin Schaefer Like Paul said it varies completely on how much snow you get -- but just wanted to add that I shopped around and Best Buds was the least expensive option I found.. that isn't always a good thing, you tend to get what you pay for, but we've had no problems in the last 2 years we've been contracting with them.
