You do not lose what you do not use
Your reserve is not a seasonal fee that expires in April. It carries winter to winter for as long as you are with Yard Loop, and once it reaches its target your snow contribution pauses altogether.
Yard Loop funds a Snow Reserve for your driveway. When it snows, the work is paid out of it — and what you do not use stays yours for next winter.
Your reserve is not a seasonal fee that expires in April. It carries winter to winter for as long as you are with Yard Loop, and once it reaches its target your snow contribution pauses altogether.
Snow and ice work is dispatched when it snows. In a hard winter the cost can run ahead of what you have built up — that is not a missed payment and you are not in default. Later contributions catch it up.
Part of your monthly payment funds the reserve. When a contractor clears your drive, the cost of that visit comes out of it. If it barely snows, the money stays there.
“So I’m buying X plows a season.” No. Most snow companies sell a set number of visits, or a flat seasonal fee for however much it snows. Yard Loop does neither. You are not buying visits at all — you are funding a pot that pays for whatever winter actually does. Ten storms or two, we come every time; the difference shows up in your balance, not in whether we turn up.
“A mild winter means I wasted my money.” Also no, and this is the part worth being clear about. Money not spent on plowing is still yours and stays in your reserve. Once it reaches its target the monthly contribution stops being collected altogether — so a quiet winter does not mean you paid for nothing, it means you stop paying for a while.
Goes into your reserve each month.
The target for this driveway size. At target, the contribution pauses.
If the balance falls to here, contributions restart to rebuild it.
Say your reserve is at its target when the first snow lands. Each time a contractor clears your drive, the cost of that visit comes out of the reserve — so a run of storms draws it down through the season. When the balance falls to the restart threshold, your monthly contribution resumes and begins rebuilding it.
If a brutal February empties it completely, the plow still comes. The balance simply goes negative, and later contributions pay it back. Nothing about your service changes, and it is not a missed payment.
Come spring, whatever is left sits there waiting for next winter. It is not a season that expires and resets — it is one pot that keeps going for as long as you are with Yard Loop.
Your reserve stays funded and carries into next winter.
The snow removal is paid from your reserve.
Your snow contribution pauses until it is drawn down again.
Contributions resume to rebuild it once the balance drops to the restart threshold.
We still come. The work is dispatched whatever the balance says, and later contributions catch it up.
An unused balance is not refunded in cash, but it carries to a new agreement at the same home.
Your driveway is measured, so the reserve is sized to your property rather than to an average.
