Looks like a fairly big area. You might want to consider one like mine:

Uses Diesel; goes and goes.
If you can, avoid any blower that uses belts. Once the belt slips, you're done. Heavy wet snow can stop a belt drive blower dead. When we have heavy (as in: deep) wet snow my neighbors don't even bring out their belt drive blowers, they just wait for me to come around. Or they shovel.
That's a tractor with a blower attachment. Might as well go whole hog and get a front-end loader.

A front end loader isn't as nice in small areas like my driveway. And a skid steer is too hard on the driveways when they aren't frozen if/when you have to turn. A pickup mounted plow is quick and practical. I have used all of these as well as a road patrol for snow removal. But nothing beats a good blower for driveways and sidewalks.
