Snow Removal in Windsor

Snow Removal for Windsor homes

Windsor's century homes, tight city lots, rear alleys and big east and south end yards mean every kind of landscape, often on the same street. Windsor gets less snow than most of Ontario, but it gets plenty of freezing rain, wet snow and freeze-thaw ice. Many older homes have narrow driveways squeezed between houses or rear-alley parking pads, which we clear with compact equipment and blowers.

What's included

Seasonal snow clearing for driveways and walkways, with salting and a set trigger depth, so you're cleared out before you leave. Depending on your property, that can include:

• Driveway clearing
• Walkways and steps
• Salting or de-icing
• Driveway markers
• Return visits
• End-of-season check
• Sign up in the fall.
• Mark the property.
• Clear on trigger.
• Clean up the plow line.

Local details in Windsor

Windsor's long, hot summers give lawns a long growing season, but heavy clay compacts easily and dries hard in July. Older yards have mature trees, shade and roots, while east and south end lots have wide, open lawns that need a steady schedule.

Questions to ask before you hire

Whoever you hire for snow removal in Windsor, get clear answers to these before you book:

• What is the trigger depth, and is it written in the agreement?
• Are walkways, steps and salting included?
• How soon after the snow stops will I be cleared?
• What happens with the windrow left by the city plow?
• Who pays for damage to my lawn edges or interlock?

Access, permits and local rules

Before any job we look at how equipment and materials will get in. On older Windsor streets, that's often a narrow side yard, a gate or the rear alley, and some jobs need smaller machines or wheelbarrows. Every dig starts with free utility locates through Ontario One Call. Work on the boulevard, driveway widening, curb cuts and city trees usually needs the City of Windsor's approval, and riverfront properties can fall under Essex Region Conservation Authority rules, so we check first.
