experienced snow clearing and salting services

Partner with:

Our snow removal services in New Westminster are designed for properties where pedestrian safety, accessibility, and liability control are critical. We support strata buildings, mixed-use developments, commercial properties, office buildings, and institutional sites throughout the city.

New Westminster winters often involve light to moderate snowfall combined with rapid melting and refreeze, particularly on sloped surfaces, shaded walkways, and stairways. These conditions require proactive ice control, frequent monitoring, and detailed documentation rather than simple snow clearing.

Many New Westminster property managers request a site review before winter to identify stairways, slopes, drainage issues, and refreeze risk areas that may require enhanced ice control.

Efficient snow management for parking lots, access routes, and emergency lanes

While snowfall totals in New Westminster are typically moderate, snow plowing is still required to maintain access for parking areas, service lanes, and emergency routes.

We manage:

  • Small parking lots and courtyards

  • Drive lanes and service access areas

  • Emergency and fire access routes

  • Snow relocation when space constraints require it

Dispatch planning accounts for congestion along corridors such as Columbia Street, Royal Avenue, McBride Boulevard, and access routes to the Pattullo and Queensborough bridges.

Pricing & Contracts in New Westminster

Transparent contract structures shaped by density, access, and service frequency

Snow removal pricing in New Westminster reflects density, access limitations, and pedestrian exposure rather than property size alone.

Key cost drivers include:

  • Building density and access constraints

  • Volume of sidewalks, stairs, and entrances

  • Frequency of ice control visits

  • Service timing and documentation requirements

Seasonal contracts are commonly used by strata councils and commercial property managers to ensure consistent coverage and predictable budgeting throughout the winter season.
