Snow Removal & Plowing in Princeton, NJ
Princeton Excavation plows snow in the Princeton area with a compact track loader: commercial parking lots, long residential driveways, and private roads and shared lanes. The same machine that grades lots all summer pushes and stacks snow in winter, so storms get handled by equipment built for heavy material.

What we plow
Winter work from the same crew and machine you'd hire for grading in July.
Commercial Lots
Parking lots for offices, retail, and multi-unit properties. Property managers can set a seasonal agreement before the first storm, with the plow trigger depth and priorities written down, so there's no scramble in December.
Long Driveways & Private Roads
Long, sloped, or gravel driveways and shared private lanes that a small plow truck struggles with. A track loader moves heavy, wet snow and stacks it where it won't melt back across the drive.
Stacked Where It Belongs
Snow goes where you choose, clear of sightlines, storm drains, and walkways, so the next thaw doesn't send a sheet of ice across the lot.

Plowed by earthmoving equipment
New Jersey snow is often wet and dense, and plow banks freeze into walls. A compact track loader has the weight and traction to move it and the lift to stack it high, which keeps a lot usable after a big storm instead of shrinking with every push.
Where we work
We plow in Princeton and nearby Mercer and Middlesex County towns. Commercial accounts get their route position agreed in advance; residential driveways are booked by the season or per storm as the schedule allows.
What we protect
Tell us about curbs, islands, drains, and anything buried under the snow before the season starts. We walk the property once in the fall so the first storm isn't the first time we see it.
How a job goes
From the first call to a clean handover
1. Fall Walkthrough
We walk the lot or driveway before the season, note curbs, islands, drains, and where the snow can be stacked, and agree on your trigger depth.
2. Agreement
Seasonal or per-push pricing in writing, with your place on the route and the priorities for each storm spelled out.
3. Storm Response
When snow reaches the trigger depth, the loader works the property in the agreed order: entrances and drive lanes first, then the rest.
4. Stack & Clean Up
Snow goes to the agreed stacking areas, clear of sightlines and drains, and we come back after the storm to push back banks if the lot needs it.
Frequently Asked Questions
As a market range, not a quote: residential driveways in New Jersey commonly run $35 to $75 per push, and $100 to $150 for long or steep drives. Commercial lots are usually priced per push, by the hour, or by the season, depending on lot size and how much snow has to be stacked. We quote yours after a look at the property.
Yes. A seasonal agreement fixes the price and your place on the route before winter starts, which is why commercial clients sign in the fall. Per-push service is available for driveways too.
Before the first storm. Commercial snow agreements are typically set between September and November, and routes fill up once the season starts.
