General questions
What areas do you provide snow removal in?
We serve Halifax, Nova Scotia and nearby communities within about 15 km, including the Halifax peninsula, Dartmouth, Bedford, Clayton Park, Fairview, Spryfield, Cole Harbour and Eastern Passage. See our service areas page, or enter your postal code in the quote form to confirm coverage.
Are you available 24/7?
Yes. On snowfall days we operate 24/7, working through our routes as conditions allow. Call us for urgent clearing.
How much does snow removal cost in Halifax?
Cost depends on the size of the area, the type of surface, slope, how often you need service, and whether salting or sanding is included. We don’t publish one-size-fits-all prices. Every property gets a free, no-obligation quote.
Do you offer seasonal contracts?
Yes. With a seasonal contract, your property is on our route and cleared automatically after qualifying snowfalls, with no need to call each time.
Do you clear the snow bank (windrow) the city plow leaves at the end of my driveway?
Yes. Windrow clearing can be included in driveway service, and follow-up visits can be added if the street plow passes again after we have cleared.
Who is responsible for clearing sidewalks and walkways in Halifax?
The Halifax Regional Municipality clears streets and many public sidewalks, but private driveways, walkways, steps and parking lots are the property owner’s responsibility. Municipal rules can change, so check halifax.ca for current details.
When do you come out to clear snow?
For seasonal and on-call customers we agree a trigger depth in advance, and we come out once snowfall reaches it. For long storms we may make more than one pass. One-time requests are booked when you need them, subject to availability.
Do you provide salting and sanding?
Yes. Our ice management service includes salt, ice melt and sand for driveways, walkways, steps and parking lots, on its own or with snow clearing.
Do you work with commercial properties and property managers?
Yes. We provide commercial snow removal for businesses, offices, retail, condominiums and apartment buildings, including parking lots, entrances and ice management.
