Snow Removal & Snow Plowing in Trumbull County, Ohio
When a storm buries the lane, a pickup with a blade only goes so far. We clear long driveways, farm lanes, private roads and lots around Farmdale with the same heavy equipment we use on dirt the rest of the year.
Snow Removal, Start to Finish
Northeast Ohio winters do not ask whether you have somewhere to be. Lake-effect bands off Lake Erie can stack snow fast, and wind fills a cleared lane right back in. A short suburban driveway can wait for a shovel. A quarter-mile lane to a farmhouse, a private road shared by four homes or a lot that trucks need to turn around in cannot. That is the snow work we are set up for: the long, wide and heavy jobs.
Logan Earthworks is owner-operated out of Farmdale, in Trumbull County. The rest of the year our machines clear land, dig and grade. In winter the same compact track loader and heavier iron push snow, open drifted lanes and move piles that have grown too big for the space. Jeff knows gravel drives from building them, so we clear yours with the base in mind and not just the top of the snow.
Snow does not wait, so this is the one service we keep close to home. If you are around Farmdale or elsewhere in Trumbull County, call and ask whether we can reach you. The best time to call is before the first real storm. Jeff can look at the property while the ground is bare, see where the edges, culverts and soft spots are, and plan how the snow gets pushed and where it goes.

- Long rural driveways and farm lanes

Why Heavy Equipment Helps on Big Snow
A plow truck works well on pavement and light snow. It struggles when the snow is deep, wet or packed into drifts, and when there is nowhere left to push it. A compact track loader has the weight and traction to bite into heavy snow, lift it and carry it, not just shove it to the side. When the banks along a lane get so tall that the next storm has no place to go, we push them back or move them so the lane stays open the rest of the winter.
Gravel Drives Need a Different Touch
Most of the long drives and farm lanes out here are gravel, and a careless push in December turns into a stone-covered lawn and a rutted lane in April. On gravel we leave a thin layer of packed snow over the stone instead of scraping down to it, and we take more care early in the season before the ground freezes. Our guide on plowing a gravel driveway explains why. If a lane is already rough, the fix is in the fall: see our gravel driveway work.
Plan the Snow Before It Falls
Most snow trouble on a long lane is decided before the first flake. Where will the snow be pushed? Is there room to stack it without blocking a ditch, a culvert or the view at the road? Are the edges marked so a machine does not drop off into the ditch or chew up the lawn? We like to walk the property in the fall, mark the edges and culverts and agree on where the piles go. Our guide on getting a long driveway ready for snow covers the list.
Who We Clear Snow For
We clear snow for homeowners at the end of a long drive, for farms with lanes and barn yards to keep open, for neighbors who share a private road and for businesses with a lot or yard that has to stay usable. Builders and contractors call us too, because a buried job site stops everything. Tell us what has to be open, how early and how often, and we will tell you plainly whether we can do it well.
Do you plow long gravel driveways?
Yes. Long gravel drives and farm lanes are a big part of why we do snow work. We clear them with the base in mind, leaving a thin packed layer over the stone so the gravel stays in the lane and not in your yard. If your drive has ruts or soft spots, fixing them in the fall makes winter clearing much easier.
What equipment do you use for snow removal?
We use our own heavy equipment, starting with a compact track loader, which has the weight and traction to handle deep, wet or drifted snow and to lift and carry it. For very large piles and long drifted lanes, the heavier machines in our fleet can move snow a truck plow cannot.
Can you move big snow piles that are blocking my lot or lane?
Yes. When banks along a lane or the piles in a lot get too big, the next storm has nowhere to go. We push the banks back, stack snow higher where there is room or move it to another spot on the property so you get your space back.
How far do you travel for snow removal?
Snow work stays close to our base in Farmdale, because storms do not wait and travel time adds up. If you are in Trumbull County, call (330) 625-5754 and ask whether we can reach your property.
When should I call about snow removal?
Before the first real storm. Jeff can look at the property while the ground is bare, mark the edges and culverts, check the driveway surface and agree with you on where the snow should go. Calling ahead beats calling in the middle of a storm.
