Doberman Excavation and Services offers snow plowing and snow removal for driveways and private roads, plus parking areas and lots. We plow across Greene County and the mountaintop towns of the northern Catskills. Winter is the slow season for excavation, so snow plowing is our winter operation. The rest of the year, we do excavation and dirt work around Oak Hill.
We plow gravel driveways so the stone stays on the drive. Plowing can also be part of our vacation home property maintenance for owners who live out of the area. We set it up by the season or by the storm. Call or text (518) 281-8003 for a free estimate.

Our snow removal services cover home and farm driveways. Long drives that climb a hill are part of the work. We also plow private roads shared by several homes. For businesses, we plow parking areas and commercial lots.
Rentals and second homes sit empty between visits, and the snow piles up. For owners who live out of the area, we plow those drives. We can send photos of completed work by phone.
NOAA's climate averages for 1991 to 2020 include a station at East Jewett, near 2,000 feet on the mountaintop. Snowfall there averages nearly 95 inches a year. A NOAA station at river level, across the Hudson River from Athens, averages about 31 inches. The mountaintop gets about three times the snow that falls at the river.
At East Jewett, December is the snowiest month, at about 22 inches. March brings as much as February, about 18 inches each. April still averages about 6 inches. In an average year, an inch or more of new snow falls on about 26 days.
Snow also stays on the ground a long time up there. At East Jewett, an inch or more covers the ground on about 94 days a year. We plow in Windham, Hunter and the other mountaintop towns, and across the rest of Greene County. Ask us how a seasonal or per-storm arrangement fits the snow where your property sits.
A plow blade can push loose gravel off a driveway along with the snow. The Federal Highway Administration's gravel roads guide names winter plowing as one thing that moves gravel off the surface. We also build and repair gravel driveways, so we plow them with the stone in mind.
Snowmelt brings its own trouble. The same guide says water collects on a gravel surface with no crown and softens it. If spring leaves ruts or washouts, we regrade the drive and put the crown back. That work falls under our gravel driveway repair.
Before the ground freezes, mark the edges of the drive with tall stakes. Flag culverts and big rocks too. The stakes show where the drive ends once the snow gets deep.
