driveway clearing

Removing driveway obstructions

Driveway clearing is the removal of snow, ice, leaves, or debris from a driveway to allow vehicle passage.

In winter climates, it typically means shoveling or plowing snow: The city got eight inches overnight, so driveway clearing took an hour.

The task may also involve spreading salt or sand for traction.
