Edina is one of the few suburbs with a published marketplace entry price and one of the more contested snow markets in the metro. Neither fact tells you what your driveway costs. What does is a 1.5-inch city plow trigger that sits below the standard contract trigger, and a sidewalk network the city maintains itself.
There is no published price for snow removal in Edina specifically. What is published, by named Twin Cities operators, is the metro range below. The section after it is what pulls a Edina quote toward one end or the other.
Sources are named Twin Cities operators' own published price pages, gathered September 2026. The metro-level breakdown, with the corner-lot mechanism explained.
Edina plows at 1.5 inches. Your contract probably triggers at 2. The city starts at 1.5 inches of accumulation, or on drifting and ice — half an inch below every neighboring city and below the standard residential trigger. Over a season with 14.3 days of an inch or more, that gap is real: there will be mornings when the city has plowed the street, left a ridge across your apron, and your contract has not triggered. Ask for a 1.5-inch trigger to match the city, and expect it to cost more than a 2-inch one because it fires more often. Or accept the mismatch and price the ridge return pass separately. Either is fine; not knowing is not.
The sidewalk is mixed, and the deadline is unpublished. Edina maintains a sidewalk network and publishes no hour-specific clearing deadline or fine for property owners. Without an ordinance clock, the public walk is in your quote only if you want it there, and a short front walk plus a driveway is the $600 to $750 tier.
Two parking layers. Once 1.5 inches has fallen, no parking until streets are plowed to the curbline; separately, a blanket 1 to 6 a.m. ban runs November through March. Clear streets overnight all winter make Edina an efficient city to route, which is one reason it is so heavily contested by operators.
A marketplace app advertises Edina snow clearing from $43 a visit. That is an entry price for a single small driveway on a per-visit basis, not a season rate, and it is the only Edina-specific figure in print anywhere.
Edina publishes no sidewalk fine, no cost-recovery charge and no ticket or tow amount on its snow pages. The parking rules promise enforcement without stating a dollar figure. The applicable published penalty is the statewide one for snow in the street: a misdemeanor under Minn. Stat. § 169.42, with a $400 minimum on a second offense, reaching the property owner who caused it.
A seasonal contract in Edina is not the cheap option and it is not the expensive one. Against the DNR's average of 7.6 two-inch days a season, per-visit billing at $75 to $100 lands at $570 to $760 — right on the $600 to $750 seasonal range. What you are choosing is whether a 39-inch February is your problem or the operator's. In Edina the count that matters is not 7.6 two-inch days but the 14.3 one-inch days, if you match the city’s 1.5-inch trigger — that roughly doubles the visits, and the seasonal contract stops being a wash. The honest version of that comparison.
No operator publishes an Edina season rate. A marketplace app advertises Edina clearing from $43 a visit for a small driveway. Established Twin Cities operators publish $600 to $750 a season for a suburban driveway and walk and $45 to $100 per visit. Edina’s 1.5-inch city trigger is the main reason a quote here may run above the tier: a contract that matches it fires more often.
Matching the city’s 1.5 inches means your driveway is cleared on every morning the street is, and it costs more because it fires more often. A 2-inch trigger is cheaper and leaves you with a city plow ridge on the in-between mornings. Decide, then get the return pass for the ridge in writing.
The city publishes no owner deadline or fine and maintains a sidewalk network. The public walk is in your quote only if you choose to include it.
City rules on this page come from the city’s own published pages and are laid out in full on the Edina service-area page. Where the city publishes no rule, this page says so rather than borrowing a neighbor’s.
Address, driveway size, how much public sidewalk you front, and whether it is a corner. Four facts, and the range above becomes a quote.
