Determining The Price
The following are several factors that may be considered when determining a price for sweeping your lot.

How often does the lot need to be swept? If there is a high traffic flow your lot will need to be swept more often than a specialty store with only a few customers per day.

What is the layout? The more obstacles there are to work around, the more expensive the service will be. If you have center islands filled with rocks or bark, the contractor knows this material will work its way into your parking lot.

Is your lot surrounded by trees? The leaves and other debris from the trees are considered when the contractor looks at your lot.

What condition is your parking area in?
Deteriorating pavement will increase sweeping time.

Is there a limited sweeping time? If your parking area has a noise restriction there will only be limited times that the contractor can work in your area. Even if there is not a noise restriction there may be other factors that limit sweeping time, e.g. a bar that is open until 2:00am or a coffee shop that opens at 6:00am.

Can the contractor dump on site? If the contractor has to haul the sweeping debris away the job will take longer, therefore costing more.

The above are just some of the elements that are considered when giving you a quote for sweeping services. If you have additional questions, please ask your sweeping contractor. They will be happy to answer any questions you might have.
