Residential Snow Removal Pricing: Driveways from $400/Season

Starting at $400/season: what your flat price covers

The base seasonal plan, starting at $400 for a standard single driveway, includes full driveway clearing on every qualifying snowfall, windrow clearing after the municipal plow, and service triggered at 2 inches of accumulation. You pay once for the whole winter, which protects your budget even in record years when visits multiply. The price agreed at signing never changes, no matter how many storms arrive.

Every contract states in writing the surfaces covered, the trigger threshold, and the morning service window. Our operators run optimized routes across LaSalle, Laval, Duvernay, Mississauga, and nearby cities so your driveway is cleared before 7 AM. During continuous storms, crews make multiple passes to keep your access open all day long.

Single vs double driveways: how your price is set

The most frequent follow-up to "how much is snow removal for the season" concerns the difference between a single and a double driveway. A double driveway needs roughly twice the time, more machine passes, and more fuel, so its seasonal price is proportionally higher. Length matters too: a very long single driveway can cost as much as a short double one.

Obstacles also influence the price: retaining walls, border flowerbeds, steep slopes, backyard parking reached through a narrow laneway, or extra parking pads. That is why every estimate is free and based on a real measurement of your property rather than a number invented over the phone. You receive a fixed written price, valid for the entire season.

• Standard single driveway: from $400/season
• Double driveway: price adjusted for width
• Long driveways and parking pads: priced by measurement
• Extra parking spots: added to the base plan

Walkway add-ons for sidewalks and paths

The base plan covers the garage driveway, and pedestrian surfaces can be added as options: the municipal sidewalk in front of the house, the path to the front door, steps, the side path to the yard, and around the bins. Families with children, seniors, and homes with many visitors often choose this option for safety and peace of mind.

Walkways are cleared by shovel or light snowblower depending on width, with careful clearing of steps to prevent ice. Simply mention the surfaces you want during your free estimate: we measure them and add them to your fixed seasonal price, with no hidden fees. You can also add the option mid-season if your needs change.

Windrow included and our 2-inch trigger

The windrow, that hard icy ridge the municipal plow pushes across the end of your driveway, is the number-one complaint of homeowners. At Dixes, clearing it is included in every residential contract: after the city passes, our crews reopen the entrance so you can drive in and out freely. No more shoveling a frozen bank at 6 AM before work.

Our 2-inch (5 cm) trigger follows the residential standard across Greater Montreal and the Greater Toronto Area: light dustings that do not block the driveway do not trigger a wasted visit, while every real storm is handled before 7 AM. Storms that drag on receive repeated passes, and customers can report a particularly heavy windrow for a priority return.

How the seasonal contract works

Everything starts with a free estimate: we measure your driveway, note options like walkways, and hand you a fixed written price for the season, November through April. Once the contract is signed, you are on our route all winter, with no need to call before each storm. Our dispatchers watch the forecasts and deploy crews automatically once the threshold is reached.

The single seasonal payment keeps things simple: one amount for the whole winter, often with instalments available. Unlike per-visit billing, whose total explodes in snowy winters, the flat plan protects your budget. Spots are limited per route to guarantee service timing, so book early in the fall to lock in starting prices and your slot.
