Sidewalk Snow Removal in Calgary

Sidewalks and entrances are where winter accessibility is actually judged. Vehicles handle a centimetre of packed snow without much trouble; people carrying groceries, using a walker or pushing a stroller do not. Pedestrian surfaces need clearing down to the surface and follow-up after melt cycles.

Why walkways refreeze in Calgary

Concrete walkways sit in shade for much of a Calgary winter day, then take runoff from a Chinook melt in the afternoon. That water refreezes overnight into a thin, hard layer that's harder to remove than the original snow. Clearing thoroughly the first time — and treating surfaces where appropriate — prevents most of that build-up.

Coordinated with the rest of the site

For commercial and condo properties we schedule walkway work alongside parking lot clearing so plowed snow isn't pushed back onto routes that were just finished.
