Residential snow removal · Nov 1 to Apr 15
Snow plowing and driveway clearing for homes in Kitchener and Waterloo. Every time 5 cm falls, we clear your driveway, front path, city sidewalk and the windrow the city plow leaves, with salt on the driveway. Per visit from $53.99, or one price for the whole winter.
Per visit or Winter Plan, every clearing covers the same ground, with standard rock salt on the driveway.
Cleared edge to edge, with standard rock salt.
From your driveway to your door.
Across the front of your home. Kitchener and Waterloo both want it cleared within 24 hours of a snowfall.
The ridge of packed snow the city plow leaves across the end of your driveway. In Waterloo it is the homeowner’s job.
Add if you need it Prices plus HST.
The trigger is 5 cm on the ground. Below that we leave it, and per-visit customers aren’t charged. Here’s how a snowfall plays out once you’re on the route.
Snow starts
Nothing for you to do. We watch the forecast and the ground.
5 cm on the ground
Your driveway goes on the route by itself. No call, no app.
The snow stops
The clock starts. A storm that keeps going keeps the clock waiting.
Cleared and salted
Driveway, path, sidewalk and windrow. Usually within 12 hours on Standard, 8 on Complete, 3 on Priority.
Ice after?
A Winter Plan covers ice control after freezing rain or a light dusting.
Priority usually within 3 hours
Complete usually within 8 hours
Standard and per visit usually within 12 hours
Kitchener plows every street 16 to 24 hours after it stops
Waterloo clears its roads up to 24 hours after it stops
24 h: your sidewalk deadline in Kitchener and Waterloo
Both cities give you 24 hours to clear the sidewalk out front. Every plan is usually done well inside that, and the sidewalk is part of every visit.
Per visit, or one price for the whole winter with unlimited clearings at 5 cm. Driveways from 1 to 10 cars can be bought online; bigger ones we quote. Clearing a parking lot? That’s commercial snow removal.

All prices are before HST. HST (13%) is added at checkout on its own line. Season plans can be paid in 5 monthly payments, the first at sign-up and the last by the end of March.
Plan or per visit?
A Standard plan costs the same as 14.25 visits.
Past that, every clearing is free. Below it, per visit costs less. Nobody can promise how many storms a winter brings, so think back to last winter.
The honest mathWinter plans
Standard, Complete or Priority.
Same four zones on every plan. Complete adds your choice of salt and a faster clear; Priority puts you first on the route. Pay once, or monthly.
Compare the plansEvery driveway we clear gets salt. On Complete and Priority you choose what’s in the bag. No ice melt is harmless to water, so we use only what’s needed either way.
Rock, treated or pet-safe?Standard rock salt
Every visit, every plan
Rock salt on the driveway is included every time. It handles most of a normal Waterloo Region winter, and slows down in a hard freeze.
Pet-safe
Complete and Priority
Gentler on paws, new concrete and the garden bed beside the drive. Best across normal winter temperatures.
Treated
Complete and Priority
Rock salt coated in brine before it lands, so it works colder and faster and stays put. For cold snaps and freezing rain.
In both cities the sidewalk in front of your home is your job, not the city’s. Every visit clears it, along with the windrow neither city clears for you.
Kitchener
Waterloo
From Bridgeport to Doon South and Laurelwood to Chicopee, with Mannheim at the edge. We don’t go to Cambridge. Snow has no booking days: when 5 cm falls, every driveway on the route gets cleared.
“Excellent service Kitchener waterloo's best ! They handle my lawn mowing and snow removal efficiently and professionally. Couldn't be happier”
Anything else, call or text, Monday to Friday, 9 to 6.
All our questions and answersOnce a snowfall leaves 5 cm or more on the ground, your driveway goes on the route automatically. No call needed. Why 5 cm, and not 2 or 10.
We don’t come, and per-visit customers aren’t charged. Below 5 cm we leave it. A Winter Plan includes ice control on those light, borderline days, which is usually the part that actually matters underfoot.
No. Once you’re on the route, the snowfall triggers the visit, not a phone call, and you don’t need to be home.
The clock starts when the snow stops. Standard is usually cleared within 12 hours, Complete within 8 and Priority within 3, with Priority first on the route. Per visit is usually cleared within 12 hours, the same as Standard.
Yes. The windrow across the end of your driveway is one of the four things every visit clears, along with the driveway, the front path and the city sidewalk.
The bylaw responsibility sits with the property owner in both Kitchener and Waterloo, but every visit clears the city sidewalk out front, so that box is checked either way. Both cities give you 24 hours after a snowfall; see Kitchener’s rule and Waterloo’s rule.
The clock starts once the snow actually stops. A storm that stacks on a storm can push the route; our weather-delay terms are on the policies page.
Yes. Season plans can be split into equal monthly payments, the first when you sign up and the last by the end of March. Sign up from April to November for 5 payments, in December for 4, in January for 3, in February for 2. From March, season plans are pay once. Each payment shows its HST on its own line.
