Escarpment ContractingGrounds and snow for apartment and multi-residential buildings.
Lawns, beds, trees, eavestroughs and cleanups for apartment and multi-residential buildings in St. Catharines, Niagara Falls, Thorold, Fonthill, Niagara-on-the-Lake and Welland, and snow removal in St. Catharines and Thorold. Residential buildings only — no plazas or industrial lots.
In writing
What a building's scope should spell out
- Every entrance, and the walkways and steps between them
- The route to the garbage and recycling area
- Parking areas and laneways, for snow
- Cutting frequency and cleanup dates
- Eavestrough cleaning, and when it's booked
- Access: keys, gates, and times the crew shouldn't run loud equipment
- Who the crew calls — the manager, the superintendent, or both
What we look after
Lawn care & grass cutting
Grass cutting, trimming and edging on a schedule you don't have to chase.
Spring & fall cleanups
Leaves, beds, branches and winter debris cleared at both ends of the season.
Snow removal
Driveways, walkways and managed properties in St. Catharines and Thorold, cleared all winter.
Tree & hedge trimming, tree removal
Branches cut back, hedges shaped, trees taken down — and the brush hauled away.
Eavestrough cleaning
Troughs cleared and downspouts checked, timed around leaf fall.
Eavestrough installation
New eavestroughs and downspouts, placed to drain away from the house.
Tenants use every path, every day.
At a rental building, the grounds aren't just curb appeal. They're how tenants get to the door, the bins and their cars, in every season.
A good scope starts from those routes and works outward, so the things tenants rely on are written down first.
A building is never empty
Someone is always home. Mowing times, where the truck parks, and how entrances stay clear while the crew works all belong in the plan agreed at the site walk.
If the superintendent is the one on site, they can be the contact. Name whoever should hear from the crew, and that goes in the scope.
Snow at a building
A building's snow scope covers more than a driveway: every entrance, the walks between them, steps, the parking area and the path to the bins. In St. Catharines — including Merritton, Western Hill, the Haig and Glenridge near Brock University — and Thorold, it's quoted as a managed site with a written trigger depth.

Questions
Apartment and multi-residential buildings: common questions
Do you clear parking areas at apartment buildings?
At residential buildings in St. Catharines and Thorold, the parking area can be part of the snow scope. We don't plow commercial lots.
Can the superintendent be our contact?
Yes. Tell us who should hear from the crew — the property manager, the superintendent, or both — and it goes in the scope.
Do you take one-off jobs at buildings?
Yes. Cleanups, tree and hedge work and eavestrough replacement can be quoted as one-off jobs, as well as recurring work on a contract.
Which areas do you cover?
St. Catharines (every part of the city), Niagara Falls (Mount Carmel, Chippawa and the Garner Road area), Thorold (Central Thorold, Confederation Heights, Rolling Meadows and Beaverdams), Fonthill, Niagara-on-the-Lake (Old Town, Virgil, Queenston, St. Davids and Glendale) and Welland. Close by and not sure? Ask — it's a quick answer. Snow removal runs in St. Catharines — including Merritton, Western Hill, the Haig and Glenridge near Brock University — and Thorold.
