A new app called Plowz works much like Uber, allowing users to order a snow plow on your smartphone, and it's now available in West Michigan.

All you need to do is access the app and describe your driveway in terms of length, width and composition. Once the job is done, your credit card will automatically be charged.

The service was developed only a year ago, and is still relatively new to Grand Rapids.

The service started with just eight drivers in Syracuse, New York and has grown to include 1,000 different plow companies and a little over 1,300 providers.

If you’d like to become a Plowz driver or learn more about their services you can visit their website.
