Driveway and walkway snow removal for GTA homes, winter 2026–2027

Driveway snow removal is the core of every visit: the full driveway, the apron where it meets the road, and the windrow the municipal plow pushes across the entrance after it passes. The walkway from the driveway or sidewalk to your front door is cleared on the same visit.

Two items are optional and should be named in your quote request: the municipal sidewalk along your frontage, and salting. With Basic, salting is quoted as a separate line; with Deluxe it is included.

Each residential snow clearing is logged with a time stamp, so you can see when the crew was on your property without being home to watch. During large storms, a return visit may be needed after the first pass.

• Driveway and apron, single, double or triple width
• Windrow left by the municipal plow at the driveway entrance
• Walkway to the front door
• Optional: municipal sidewalk frontage
• Optional: salting (included with Deluxe)
• Time-stamped log of every clearing

A trigger is the amount of accumulated snow that starts a visit. On the Basic Snow Removal package, service begins at 5 cm of accumulated snowfall, with a target completion within 8 hours after qualifying snowfall ends, subject to contract conditions.

That target window is counted from when the qualifying snowfall ends, not from when it starts, so during an all-day storm the completion target lands later than it would after a short overnight fall of the same depth. If you want visits to start sooner, lower triggers than 5 cm are available at a higher seasonal rate.

Deluxe Snow & Ice Removal uses a zero-centimetre advertised trigger, subject to a clearly defined service policy, and covers snow, freezing rain, ice and light snowfall events subject to contract terms. It includes salting and proactive winter monitoring, which makes it the package to consider if a dusting followed by a hard freeze is what worries you most.

Both packages come with unlimited visits for qualifying snow events during the contract period. When you compare quotes, ask that each proposal state the trigger, the service window and the conditions attached to it, so you are comparing the same thing.

A seasonal snow removal contract covers November 15, 2026 to April 15, 2027 and is invoiced in monthly instalments.

Seasonal contracts for winter 2026–2027 are 10% off, and the discount is included in the written proposal. It applies to seasonal contracts only.

Pricing is quoted per property after the team reviews your request, which is why this page has no price table; the quote request itself is free and creates no obligation. Sign-ups after the season starts are prorated, so a contract that begins in December covers the remaining portion of the winter rather than the full term.

Per-visit (one-time) requests are possible subject to availability for households that only want help with the occasional storm. The 10% offer does not apply to them, so if you expect to need clearing through the season, request the seasonal option.

Residential routes run through Etobicoke, Toronto (including York and North York), Mississauga and Brampton. The postal-code checker on the homepage gives a quick first answer for your street, and the proposal confirms coverage for the exact address.

A quote request moves faster when it answers the questions the team will ask anyway. Choose Basic or Deluxe, say whether the driveway is single, double or triple width, and describe the walkways: front only, front and side, or walkways plus municipal sidewalk frontage.

Note whether the lot is standard, large or a corner, where you would prefer snow piled, and anything that affects access, such as a gate, a shared driveway or a car that stays parked outside overnight. Mention mobility needs or long absences so they are reflected in the proposal.

Send the request through the quote form, email info@maplecorelawncare.com, or call 647-809-7884, Monday to Saturday, 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. The snow removal quote checklist in the resources section covers the same items in one list.
