Winter access needs a plan before the first snowfall. Bluestone Landscaping offers snow removal in Pickering and Ajax for residential properties and commercial sites. We discuss the areas you need kept accessible, where snow can be placed, and whether seasonal coverage or an on-call visit suits your property.

What the service includes

Service can cover driveways, walkways, entrances and commercial parking areas. Salting and ice control can be included in the agreed scope. Residential and commercial seasonal contracts make the responsibilities clear, while on-call service is an option when availability and conditions allow.

A good clearing plan accounts for parked vehicles, pedestrian routes, drainage and snow storage. We identify obstacles such as steps, low walls and decorative edging so the work is planned around the property rather than treating every site the same.

Our process

We start with your address, the size of the clearing area and any access restrictions. Before work begins, we confirm the coverage, snow placement and arrangements for requesting service. For a seasonal contract, ask about snowfall triggers, repeat visits and how salting is handled.

During a visit, the agreed areas are cleared and any requested ice treatment is applied according to site conditions. New snowfall, drifting and freezing rain can change conditions after a visit, so ongoing winter access may require further attention.

What affects the cost

The amount of pavement, driveway width, walkway length, slopes and space for snow storage affect the quote. Commercial layouts, equipment access, visit frequency and the amount of ice-control material also matter. A seasonal contract and an individual on-call visit have different scopes, which we explain before you commit.

Common questions

Can I book one visit instead of a contract?

Yes, you can request on-call snow removal. Availability depends on weather and the existing schedule. Contact us with your location and the areas that need clearing; do not assume an immediate arrival until the visit is confirmed.

Is salting included?

Salting can be part of the service, but the quote should specify whether it is included or arranged separately. Tell us about sensitive landscaping and the surfaces being treated so the approach can be discussed.
