Professional Snow Removal in Toronto and the GTA
Toronto Winters Do Not Wait,
and Neither Do We
A driveway that was clear the evening before can be buried under several inches of snow by morning. For homeowners and businesses alike, the difference between a property that is ready and one that is not often comes down to a single early morning visit.
My Property Care provides snow removal across Toronto and the GTA for two main groups. On the residential side, we clear driveways, walkways and entrances for homeowners who need to get out the door without the morning turning into a battle with a shovel. On the commercial side, we manage parking lots, walkways and entrances for businesses who carry real liability if a customer or employee slips on an uncleared surface.
Snow removal is one of those services where timing is everything. A driveway cleared at noon does little for someone who needed to leave at seven in the morning. Our scheduling is built around being finished before the day starts, not catching up after it has already gone wrong.
Whether you need a single driveway cleared after a major storm, a full seasonal contract that covers the entire winter, or ongoing commercial property management through every snowfall, we have a service built around it.
Residential Snow Removal
in Toronto
For homeowners across Toronto and the GTA, winter mornings often start the same way. Check the window, see how much snow fell overnight, and decide whether there is enough time to clear it before leaving for work.
Our residential snow removal service covers the driveway, the walkway from the driveway to the front door, and the entrance area itself. We clear down to the surface and apply salt or ice melt where needed to keep the cleared area safe rather than turning into a sheet of ice a few hours later. The City of Toronto requires property owners to clear sidewalks within 12 hours of a snowfall — we handle that for you automatically.
We work with every type of residential property across the GTA, from single car driveways in Thornhill and Richmond Hill, to longer driveways in Vaughan and Woodbridge, to shared laneways and townhome complexes in Markham and Mississauga. Properties with unique layouts, multiple entry points or shared access with neighbours are not a problem. We assess the property once and build a clearing plan around how it actually works.
Most of our residential clients choose a seasonal arrangement, which means the property gets cleared automatically whenever snowfall reaches a certain depth, without needing to call or book each time. Others prefer an on-demand service for properties that only need occasional help. Either way, the goal is the same — a clear, safe driveway and walkway waiting for you before you need it.

Commercial Snow Removal
Across the GTA
Commercial snow removal is not the same job as clearing a home driveway. A business with an uncleared parking lot or icy entrance is dealing with a genuine liability risk every time a customer, employee or delivery driver sets foot on the property.
My Property Care provides commercial snow and ice management for parking lots, walkways, loading docks, fire routes and building entrances across Toronto and the GTA. According to the Occupiers' Liability Act of Ontario, property owners and managers have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe — winter maintenance is a direct part of that obligation.
Commercial properties operate on a different schedule than homes. A retail plaza needs to be clear before staff and customers arrive. An office building needs walkways and entrances safe before the first employee steps out of their car. We build our commercial schedules around the operating hours of the property, not a generic time of day.
For property managers handling multiple sites, consistency matters most. Our commercial clients receive consistent service across every visit, and where required we provide service records for each site — documentation many property managers rely on for their own liability and insurance records. Whether it is a single storefront, a multi-unit retail plaza, an office building or an industrial site, we put together a plan that matches how the property actually operates.

Specialized Snow Services
for Toronto Properties
Windrow Clearing
Anyone who has shovelled a driveway in Toronto knows the feeling. The driveway is finally clear, and then the city plow comes through and leaves a dense wall of packed snow directly across the end of it. This is called a windrow, and it is often heavier and more compacted than the snow that fell overnight, since it has been pushed and packed by the plow blade.
Rooftop & Roof Snow Removal
Heavy or repeated snowfall does not just affect the ground. Flat and low-slope roofs, common on many commercial buildings as well as additions and garages on residential properties, can accumulate significant snow load over a winter. This adds structural weight and can contribute to ice damming along edges and around drains, which leads to water backing up under shingles or membranes once temperatures rise.
Sidewalk Clearing & Bylaw Compliance
Toronto has bylaws that require property owners to clear snow and ice from the sidewalk in front of their property within a set period after snowfall ends. Failing to do so can result in fines, or the city clearing it and billing the owner directly. For homeowners and businesses alike, this is one more thing to track during a busy winter.
Snow Removal for Seniors
Shovelling snow is physically demanding, and for older adults it carries real health risks, including a well-documented link to cardiac events during heavy snow clearing. Many of our residential clients are adult children arranging snow removal for an elderly parent who can no longer safely shovel, or seniors themselves who want the peace of mind of knowing their driveway and walkway will be cleared without needing to do it themselves.
Seasonal Contracts and On Demand Service
When it comes to snow removal, how the service is structured matters almost as much as the service itself. We offer two main ways to work with us.
Honest Pricing,
Based on Your Property
Snow removal pricing varies more than almost any other maintenance service, and the honest reason is that cost depends on the property itself and on how much snow the winter actually brings. We price based on your specific situation, not a generic list.
We quote based on your actual driveway, walkways, and service needs, not a generic price list. Serving residential and commercial clients across Toronto and the GTA.
Toronto Winters Are Not Forgiving.
We Are Ready.
When a Toronto winter hits, it hits hard. Driveways pile up overnight, walkways become dangerous and getting your property cleared before work or opening time becomes a real challenge.
My Property Care provides reliable, prompt snow removal so your property is safe, accessible and clear when you need it to be. No waiting, no wondering and no doing it yourself in the dark at 6am.
Safe, accessible and clear when you need it — no waiting, no wondering.
Why Toronto Properties Choose My Property Care for Snow Removal
Snow removal is one of those services where reliability is the entire product. A driveway that gets cleared most of the time is not actually useful, because the mornings it does not get cleared are exactly the mornings it matters most.
Our team monitors weather conditions through every storm, which means clearing schedules are based on what is actually happening outside, not a fixed time that may be too early or far too late depending on how a storm develops.
My Property Care is fully insured and equipped for both residential and commercial snow and ice management across the GTA. Every visit is covered, every property protected.
Many of our snow removal clients also use us for lawn care and landscaping in the warmer months. The same team that keeps your property clear in winter keeps it looking its best the rest of the year.
For residential clients, especially those clearing driveways for elderly family members or simply trying to get out the door on time, the value is simple. One less thing to worry about every time it snows.
We understand the liability side of this service is just as important as the physical clearing. Consistent, documented service across every property in a portfolio is not a nice extra. It is part of how property managers protect themselves and the businesses they oversee.
Snow Removal Across
Toronto and the GTA
My Property Care provides residential and commercial snow removal across Toronto, including Midtown and Downtown, and throughout the surrounding GTA communities. Snowfall does not affect every part of the GTA equally, and our local team understands how conditions can vary from one neighbourhood to the next.
Whether that is lake effect snow closer to the waterfront or heavier accumulation further north and west of the city, seasonal contracts are planned with these local differences in mind, not a single citywide assumption.

Pricing depends on the size of your driveway or parking lot, the length of walkways being cleared, whether salt or ice melt is included, and whether you choose a seasonal contract or on demand service.
