5 Ft Snow Stakes & Driveway Markers for Deep-Snow Driveways and Commercial Plow Routes
Discount Snow Stakes PRO Line 5 ft (60") snow stakes are the tall reflective driveway markers that commercial snow removal contractors, municipalities, and homeowners in heavy-snow regions rely on winter after winter. Made in the USA, every stake is a solid 5/16" fiberglass rod topped with our 9" Xtreme Viz reflective band and an Armortech impact cap, so it goes in fast, stays visible above the snowbank all season, and comes out ready to reuse next year.
Why Plow Pros Choose Our 60" Snow Stakes
- A full foot taller than standard markers. 60" stakes stay visible over the 3 to 4 foot snowbanks that bury 48" driveway markers in lake-effect areas, mountain towns, and on commercial lots where plows stack snow along the edge.
- Thicker 5/16" solid fiberglass. Most big-box driveway markers are 1/4" rods. Our 5/16" stakes have 56% more material, so they flex under a plow blade and spring back instead of snapping, and they will never rot, rust, or splinter like wood or steel.
- 9" Xtreme Viz reflective tape. Half again as much reflective surface as the 6" bands on typical markers. Your drivers see the edge of the driveway from the cab, at night, in blowing snow.
- Armortech cap. A molded impact cap protects the top of the stake when you drive it in with a mallet, so it won't split or mushroom during installation.
- Pointed tip. Pushes into lawn, gravel, or hard-packed ground by hand; with a mallet it goes into frozen ground.
- 7 high-visibility colors. Orange, Green, Red, Blue, Yellow, Black, and Pink, so you can color-code properties, mark hazards, or match an HOA.
- Made in the USA. PRO Line stakes are American made and sold direct by Discount Snow Stakes, not imported big-box rods.
- Multi-season value. Pull them in spring and reuse them for years. The extra length makes 5 ft stakes a favorite for tomato and garden stakes, tree supports, lot markers, and septic or sprinkler-head markers in summer.

Where to Use 60" Driveway Markers
- Driveways and private roads in lake-effect and mountain snow regions
- Commercial parking lots, curbs, islands, and snow-stacking zones
- Fire hydrants, drains, culverts, mailboxes, and septic covers that need to stay visible above deep snow
- Snow plow routes, salt bins, loading docks, and staging areas
- Property lines, utility markers, ditches, and landscape beds
How to Install Snow Stakes
- Set stakes every 8 to 10 feet along the driveway edge and at every corner, obstacle, and turn.
- Push the pointed tip into the ground by hand; on hard or frozen ground, tap the Armortech cap with a rubber mallet. Drive 5 ft stakes 10 to 12 inches deep so they stay upright in wind and heavy snow loads.
- Install before the first freeze so the ground is still soft, and keep the reflective band facing the direction your plow approaches.
5 Ft Snow Stakes FAQ
Should I buy 4 ft or 5 ft snow stakes?
If your snowbanks regularly top 2 to 3 feet, or your plow driver stacks snow along the driveway edge, choose 5 ft. The extra 12" keeps the reflective band above the pile all winter. For lighter snow areas, our 4 ft snow stakes are the most popular choice.
Will they survive being hit by a plow?
Solid fiberglass bends and springs back. A direct hit from a blade can damage any stake, but 5/16" fiberglass outlasts 1/4" rods, wood, and plastic by a wide margin.
Are these the same stakes sold at Home Depot or Lowe's?
No. Big-box driveway markers are typically 1/4" rods with 6" reflectors, and 5 ft lengths are rarely stocked at all. The PRO Line is a thicker 5/16" rod with a 9" reflective band, sold at contractor pricing.
How many 5 ft snow stakes do I need?
Divide the total driveway edge length in feet by 8 and add two stakes for every corner, hydrant, or obstacle. A typical 60 ft residential driveway uses 16 to 20 stakes; most contractors order by the hundred.

I choose the 5 foot for ease of seeing from my truck. They go in the ground easily and last well.

Yes you can hold each end and bend them in half, but when a car hits one, it will crack and shatter. No different than any other fiberglass stake. Also, the caps come off inside the Snow Stake Install Tool they sell. The install Tool needs modification so the cap does not catch on the inside lip of the tool, which pulls the cap off. It would be better not the have caps or glue them on better. Nothing really wrong with this product, I buy more every year because they break where inserted into the ground, just like every other brand, still better than using wood.
