When snow falls overnight in Durham Region, your driveway becomes the first obstacle between you and your day. Pickering Snow Removal clears residential driveways across Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, and Oshawa — so your car is out and on the road without you lifting a shovel.
What’s included in our driveway service
Every visit covers the full driveway surface, the apron where your driveway meets the road (including the heavy, compacted ridge the city plow leaves behind — the part everyone hates), and a clear path to your front door. We handle snowfalls of every size, from a 2 cm dusting to a 40 cm February dump.
The windrow at the end of your driveway deserves special mention. Municipal plows typically pass after major snowfalls and push a dense wall of snow and ice right across your driveway entrance. It’s the heaviest snow you’ll ever shovel — wet, compressed, and often icy. Clearing it is standard in every one of our visits, not an extra.
Per-visit or seasonal — your choice
Per-visit service suits homeowners who travel occasionally or want help only after big storms. You call or text, we clear, you pay per visit.
Seasonal contracts are our most popular option: one flat rate covers every qualifying snowfall from November through April. Your driveway is cleared automatically every time snow passes the trigger depth — no phone call needed, no surprise invoices in a heavy winter. See our seasonal contracts page for details.
Why Pickering homeowners choose us
We’re local to Durham Region, which means we’re watching the same forecast you are. When Environment Canada issues a snowfall warning for Pickering, our route is planned before the first flake lands. Priority goes to early-morning clearing so commuters are out on time.
Snow shoveling is also one of winter’s biggest health risks — emergency rooms across Ontario see spikes in heart attacks and back injuries after every major snowfall, especially among homeowners over 45. A season of professional clearing costs less than most people expect, and considerably less than a hospital visit.
Service area
Driveway snow clearing is available in Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, Bowmanville, Clarington, and throughout Durham Region.
Frequently asked questions
How soon after a snowfall do you arrive?
Routes begin once accumulation passes the trigger depth (typically 5 cm) and priority is finishing residential driveways before the morning commute. During major storms we make multiple passes.
Do you clear the ridge the city plow leaves?
Yes — the windrow at the end of the driveway is included in every visit. It’s the most common complaint we hear about other services, so we made it standard.
What if it snows twice in one day?
Seasonal contracts include return visits for continuing snowfall. Per-visit customers can request a second clearing at the per-visit rate.
Do I need to be home?
No. Most clearings happen while customers are asleep or at work. We’ll text when your driveway is done.
