What Snow Removal Costs in Andover

Andover publishes an early and long parking ban and almost nothing else — no plow depth, no completion time, no sidewalk rule. The published metro range applies, and the driveway is what moves an Andover quote within it.

The Published Numbers

The Published Range, and a Quote That Is All Driveway

The ranges below are what established Twin Cities operators publish for the metro. None of them publishes a Andover-specific price, and this site does not invent one. Andover falls inside these ranges for the reasons in the next section.

Residential ranges published by Twin Cities operators for the 2026–27 season, at a two-inch trigger. November 1 to March 31.
Property or servicePublished range
Suburban home, two to three car driveway plus front walkway, per season$600 – $750
Driveway only, no sidewalk frontage, per seasonfrom $700
City corner lot with two public frontages, per season$1,100 – $1,400
Widest seasonal spread published across the metro$350 – $1,500+

Walkway shoveling added to a visit$25 – $60

What Moves the Number

A 1 a.m. Ban to April 15, and No Sidewalk to Price

The ban runs 1 to 6 a.m., November 1 to April 15. The 1 a.m. start is as early as any in this metro and the April 15 end extends two weeks past most neighbors. Separately, parking is prohibited after 2 inches until plowed. Clear streets through the whole plowing window make Andover efficient to route, which matters more here than in denser cities because the driving distances between customers are longer.

No sidewalk rule at all. Andover’s snow page does not address sidewalk responsibility, deadline or fines, and this site does not assert one. With no ordinance clock, the public walk is in scope only by your choice. Much of Andover has no public sidewalk to begin with.

The driveway is the whole quote. The city publishes no driveway or housing-era figures, and this page states none. What decides where a property lands in the $600 to $750 tier is the concrete: that tier is written for a two-to-three-car suburban apron with a short run to the street, and a long drive prices above it while a short single-width one prices below. An operator quoting from the aerial will know which before you do.

Exact setbacks are published. Garbage carts 2 feet behind the curb at the end of the driveway, mailbox post 20 inches back. Andover cites Minn. Stat. 160.27 on snow in the street — a different citation from Blaine’s and Ramsey’s for the same prohibition.

What the City Charges

Andover Publishes No Dollar Figures

No ticket, tow, sidewalk fine or mailbox reimbursement amount appears on Andover’s snow page. The statewide penalty for snow in a street applies regardless of which statute the city cites: a misdemeanor under Minn. Stat. § 169.42, $400 minimum on a second offense, reaching the homeowner who caused it.

Seasonal or Per Visit

The Arithmetic in Andover

The Minnesota DNR counts an average of 7.6 days a season with two inches or more at the Twin Cities station. At the published $75 to $100 a visit that is $570 to $760, against a $600 to $750 seasonal contract on the same property. In an average winter the two are the same money. Andover publishes no plow-callout depth, so the DNR’s 7.6 two-inch days is the count for a per-visit estimate. The full comparison.

Questions

Snow Removal Cost in Andover: Asked and Answered

What does snow removal cost in Andover?

No Andover-specific rate is published. Established Twin Cities operators publish $600 to $750 a season for a two-to-three-car suburban driveway and front walk and $45 to $100 a visit. Where an Andover property lands in that tier follows its driveway size.

Do I have to clear a sidewalk in Andover?

The city publishes no sidewalk rule of any kind, and this site does not supply one. Many Andover properties have no public sidewalk.

When does the parking ban start and end?

1 a.m. to 6 a.m., November 1 to April 15 — as early as any neighbor starts, and two weeks later than most end — plus after any 2-inch snowfall until plowed.

City rules on this page come from the city’s own published pages and are laid out in full on the Andover service-area page. Where the city publishes no rule, this page says so rather than borrowing a neighbor’s.
