If I do plow, I'll peel up piles of gravel (even with skids on my plow) and deposit it on my lawn. Once the drive has frozen solid, no problem. But with mulch, a plow or a shovel would tear it up much easier. | |

I don't think those would really work on top of mulch though - they would likely just sink into it unless the ground was really frozen solid. | |
