Snow is a certainty in Edmonton, but the timing and the amount is very unpredictable. Running a reliable snow removal operation means we have the staff, vehicles, equipment, back up equipment and supplies to respond to snow at all times. The fixed price snow removal means that we could be called on to remove snow 30 days each month, or not at all- both are scenarios we have to be prepared for. On average we have dispatched 13-16 times per month during the last 5 winters. Imagine what calling a taxi 15 times per month would cost, then add in shovelling labour, bigger 4WD vehicles, and professional grade equipment, plus hundreds of bags of ice melt and gravel. Simply put, it’s an expensive service to provide while mitigating a number of risks.
