Snow Removal Invoice Template

Snow removal invoices should show exactly what was done, when it was done, and how pricing was determined (per push, per hour, or seasonal).

Service location details

• Customer name and contact
• Property address
• Service type (residential or commercial)

Service details

• Service date(s) and number of visits
• Snowfall tier or conditions (optional but helpful)
• Notes about drifting or heavy snow (optional)

Common snow removal line items

• Plowing (per push)
• Shoveling sidewalks/entries
• Salting/de-icing applications
• Snow blowing (if offered)
• Snow hauling/removal
• Emergency call-outs

Totals and payment

• Subtotal, tax, total due
• Payment terms and instructions

Snow removal businesses invoice using a few common structures:

1) Per push (per visit)

• Fixed rate each time you plow or clear
• Simple and common for residential driveways

2) Snowfall tier pricing

• Rates increase based on depth (e.g., 0–2", 2–6", 6–10"+)
• Helps justify higher charges during heavy storms

3) Per hour

• Used for complex commercial lots, loaders, or long pushes

4) Seasonal contracts

• Fixed monthly or seasonal price covering all service in the period
• Often includes terms for “trigger depth” and service frequency

Your invoice should clearly state which pricing method applies and include service dates for transparency.

Salting and de-icing are often separate from plowing and can be billed per application.

Common line items

• “Salting / de-icing — per application”
• “Sidewalk salt application”
• “Ice melt for entries and steps”

Best practice

• Itemize each application or include the number of applications in quantity
• For commercial clients, keeping a service log makes approvals easier

Separating salting from plowing helps clients understand why totals vary between visits.

Commercial clients often need more detail for approvals.

Helpful fields

• Service dates and arrival times (optional)
• Snowfall tier and trigger depth
• Areas serviced (lot, loading dock, sidewalks)
• Equipment used (optional)
• Multiple site addresses (if you service more than one)

A clean breakdown prevents back-and-forth with property managers and accounts payable.
