Before the first snow
- We stake the edges of your driveway in early November, so the plough misses the lawn.
- If we lift sod or scrape a bed, we fix it in the spring clean-up at no charge.
- Walkways and steps are cleared by hand and salted if you choose it.
- When the city plough fills the end of your driveway, we come back for it.
Snow removal questions
When do the snow trucks go out?
When 5 cm has fallen. Below that, we only come if you’ve asked for salting.
What if the city plough blocks my driveway?
We come back for the windrow once the city plough has been through, at no extra cost.
What if the plough damages my lawn?
We stake your driveway in November so it doesn’t happen. If it does, we repair it in the spring clean-up for free.
