What is Snow Removal Cost in Toronto

Snow removal in Toronto kicks in once we get our first big dump of white stuff. Whether you're responsible for clearing a segment of a path, driveway, sidewalk, or something as large as a commercial property, it's an annual routine and job that's part of life in our city.

CITY SNOW REMOVAL

The City of Toronto is responsible for salting and plowing roads (your tax dollars at work) but sidewalks are often the responsibility of the adjacent property. According to the city, snow and ice should be removed from the sidewalk within 12 hours of the weather clearing. Failure to do so could result in a $125 fine. Seniors and people who require assistance can apply for free sidewalk clearing.

GET YOUR OWN SHOVEL

Any local hardware store or Canadian Tire will hook you up with a suitable shovel for clearing snow but for something a little more stylish (and locally designed by an OCAD student and grad) splurge on one of these Firn snow shovels by contributing $150 to their Indiegogo campaign.

Tips on finding the right lawn care contractor in Toronto

As with any project, it’s wise to get multiple bids. Do your homework and spend time researching; you have a terrific resource called the internet at your disposal. When selecting the lawn care companies that you would like to receive bids from, use the following checklist: a. Does your contractor operate from a permanent place of business. If the contractor is not permanently established, you run the risk that they will not complete the work or be in business, down the line, should there be any problems. We’ve all heard the stories where homeowners make a size able deposit and then the contractor disappears. Don’t be that homeowner! b. Is the company licensed, bonded and insured? Make sure the employer has workers’ compensation and general liability insurance in case of accidents on the job. Don’t be afraid to ask for copies of these policies.  c. How long has the company been in business? A long-time, well-established contractor is a great indicator of quality of product and serv...

Lawn Mowing Recommendations for Toronto Homeowners

Image
One of the most important rules to remember when deciding how high or low you want to mow your lawn is the one-third rule. Grass plants attempt to balance their above and below ground growth, so the root systems are roughly equal to the mass of grass blades. Removing no more than one-third of the grass blade at any one mowing helps keep this balance. Mowing too short, a common mistake some homeowners in Toronto make in an effort to reduce mowing frequency, can stress plants. In addition, if too much grass is removed, clippings will fail to decompose rapidly enough, contributing to a buildup of clippings and an unsightly lawn. Mowing height varies depending on growing conditions, grass type, and the season. Your landscape service provider will be able to match proper mowing height to your lawn, helping to ensure that it stays healthy even during times of stress.
