If you live in an area that gets snow, then you are familiar with all the snow removal options for your driveways and walkways.
Homeowner snow removal equipment includes anything from shovels to blowers to small plows. If you have a natural cobblestone driveway or walkway, you will want to use a shovel or plow with a poly or rubber cutting edge. It will slide over cobblestone edges.
If you are in the design/ planning stages for your front entry, consider a radiant snow melting system when installing hardscape material.
For homeowners with cobblestone driveways hiring a contractor with a plow:
In winter, place 4′ plastic or metal reflectors along the boundaries of your apron and edging. Notify your snow plow contractor about your cobblestones and have him (or her) raise the blade 1″ before entering the driveway. Experienced operators realize that reflectors indicate a cobblestone area and with the raised plow, will avoid uplifting individual cobbles.
