Ballpark price for your driveway

Customers get a ballpark price on the spot, with the math shown, and send the request when it fits their budget.

Pick your driveway size, trigger depth and sidewalks to see an example price per push and for the whole season.

Example size chart: up to 600 sq ft: $40 · up to 1,200 sq ft: $55 · up to 2,500 sq ft: $75 · larger: $100 per push.

    Who builds it

    One person you can call

    I'm Chris, and I run Praxis AI Solutions out of Mason City, Iowa. When something needs changing, you call or text me, not a support line. In the real version, seasonal signups land in one list with each address, trigger depth, sidewalk choice and gate notes, ready for your route sheet. When you declare a storm, customers get a heads-up text, an on-the-way text and a done text with the time, so your phone stays quiet while you plow. You see and approve every form, price and text before anything goes live.

    • If I can't build it, there's no charge.
