What a cleared driveway should look like
Down to the pavement, square edges, and nothing piled where it’ll melt back across the drive. Photos are from Pittsburgh-area winters, credited below — ours go up after the first storm.

About
From the neighborhood, on foot
USC Snow Shovelers is based right here in Upper St. Clair. When it snows, we’re already on your street — not stuck behind a plow route that starts on the other side of the county.
We shovel by hand because a plow can’t do steps, can’t do walks, and leaves a frozen ridge at the end of your driveway. Every price is flat and written down before the first flake, so a big storm never turns into a surprise bill.

Questions
Before you book
How much does it cost?
$40 a storm for a standard one- or two-car driveway, with the front walk and steps included. Longer, wider or steep driveways get their own flat price after we see them once.
When will you get to my house?
If the snow stops overnight, we start at first light. Everyone is cleared in the order they booked. We text you the moment you’re done.
What if it keeps snowing?
On long storms we clear once there’s enough to move and come back when it ends. Snowfalls over 8 inches are one and a half times the usual rate.
Do you plow?
No. We shovel, which means no ridge at the end of your drive, no scraped pavement and no chewed-up lawn edges. Long driveways get a snow blower for the bulk and a shovel for the edges.
How do I pay?
Venmo, Zelle, cash or check after each visit.
Where do you work?
Upper St. Clair first, then nearby streets in Mt. Lebanon, Bethel Park, Peters Township, Scott and South Fayette. Not sure if you’re close enough? Text your address and we’ll tell you straight away.
