Walkways and steps are where most winter slips happen, and a plow can’t reach them. We clear them by hand or with walk-behind equipment, so the path from the street or parking area to the door is clear, defined and safe to use.
The Halifax Regional Municipality clears many public sidewalks. Private walkways, steps, porches and paths on your property are not cleared by the city. That’s where we come in.
What we clear
- Front walkways and paths from the street or driveway to the door
- Front and back steps, landings and porches
- Wheelchair ramps and accessible routes
- Side and back paths to garbage, recycling and green bins
- Private sidewalks along storefronts and building frontages
- Mailbox and hydrant access on request
Ice treatment for walking surfaces
Clearing snow is only half the job on walkways. After freeze–thaw cycles, a thin layer of ice can be harder to see than snow. We can add salt, ice melt or sand to steps and walkways. Where you have concrete or pets, we can use alternatives that are gentler on those surfaces. Tell us your preference in the quote form.
Who uses walkway clearing
- Homeowners and seniors who want a safe route without having to shovel
- Landlords who need entrances for several units kept clear
- Businesses that want a safe, welcoming entrance for customers and staff
- Property managers who need ramps and accessible entrances cleared first
