Commercial snow plowing

What I plow

• Farm lanes and yards, including the run to the barn
• Shared private roads, with one bill the neighbours split
• Church, hall and community lots that need to be open early on the day
• Shops, workshops, offices and storage yards
• Larger lots, and accounts with more than one property

Most sites are plowed on the route: once about 5 cm has fallen and again when the storm ends, in route order. Accounts under contract come ahead of one-time call-ins. Need a lot open by a set time? Tell me, and it gets its own plan and its own price.

Larger sites

Bigger lots, several properties on one account, or a site that has to be clear by a set time: each one is quoted on its own and run under a written contract. Every site gets the equipment and operators it calls for, and I manage the work myself. You deal with the owner from the first visit to the last invoice. Before Cedar Rail, I ran winter operations for more than a hundred properties a season. Tell me what the site needs, and I'll give you a straight answer on this winter. If the timing doesn't work, we plan for next winter.

How a commercial job works

1. A site visit. We walk the lanes and the lot and agree where snow is stored, what must stay clear, and by when. I note the hazards.
2. A written scope and a signed contract with Landscape Ontario's recommended standard inclusions. It sets the trigger depth, the order of work, what's included, what isn't, and the price.
3. A dated log of every visit, with the time in and the time out. You can have a copy whenever you ask. It matters for your records as much as mine.
