Snow removal in St. Catharines and Thorold.
Driveways, walkways and steps for homes, and common elements for condo and townhome corporations, in St. Catharines — including Merritton, Western Hill, the Haig and Glenridge near Brock University — and Thorold. Residential only — no commercial plazas or industrial lots, so the route is built around the places people live.

In writing
What your contract spells out
- Trigger depth — how much snow falls before the crew is dispatched
- What gets cleared: driveway, walkways and steps, and for managed sites, common-element sidewalks and parking areas
- Ice treatment — whether salting is included or billed per application
- The windrow — the ridge the municipal plow leaves at the end of the driveway
- Visits per event, and what happens in a long or heavy storm
- How you'll hear from us during an event, and who to call
- Season start and end dates
For homeowners
Before the season, the things that matter on your property go into the scope — where the cars park, which door you use, what the crew should avoid. Then you stop checking the driveway at 6 a.m.

Talk to us about your propertiesThree times people call about snow
All three get the same answer: a site walk, a written scope, and a spot on the route.
01
Planning ahead
Renewing before the season? Ask for the contract structure, what's included, and how communication works during a storm.
02
First snowfall
Left it late? Call. If there's room on the route, you'll hear when we can start — not a form that goes nowhere.
03
Mid-season switch
Your current contractor missed a storm. Takeovers mid-season are normal: a site walk, a written scope, and you're on the route.
Switching snow contractors mid-season
If your current contractor missed a storm, you don't have to wait for spring to change. Mid-season takeovers are common, and they're straightforward.
You call, we walk the property, and you get a written scope. Once it's signed, you're on the route for the next event.
Check your current contract for a notice period first. Most seasonal contracts have one, and it's better to know before you switch than after.

Questions
Snow removal: common questions
Which areas do you cover for snow removal?
St. Catharines — including Merritton, Western Hill, the Haig and Glenridge near Brock University — and Thorold. Residential properties: single homes, and condo and townhome corporations. Close by and not sure? Ask — it's a quick answer.
What is a trigger depth?
It's the amount of snow that has to fall before the crew is dispatched. It's written into your contract, so you know exactly when to expect a visit — and when not to.
Do you plow commercial lots?
No. We only work residential properties: single homes, condo and townhome corporations, and small residential buildings. That keeps the route built around the places people live.
Can you take over from another contractor mid-season?
Yes. We walk the property, put the scope in writing and add you to the route. Check your current contract's notice period first.
Is salting included?
It depends on the contract. Either way, your written scope says whether ice treatment is included or billed per application — you won't find out on the invoice.
Do you clear the windrow at the end of the driveway?
The ridge the municipal plow leaves behind is listed in your scope, so you know whether it's cleared on each visit before the season starts.
