If its a one time plow and I just get waved in to do the driveway, I plow everything that is there at the time, Get paid, then I'm done. Regular customers Get checked again at the end of the event before we head back to the shop. If that one time plow is in route, and needs the entrance redone because of municipal plows pushing snow from the road, we will do it n/c. Only takes a second, and is just good business. We wont make a special trip for a one time cleanup.

None.
Without seeing the site before snow covers it, you don't know what you are plowing.
It increases liability too much. Just when you think you've done a good deed, a homeowner calls and fumes that you plowed up their groundcover or something else.
