Trusted Lawn Care Services in Gatineau, QC

Yes, every business in the industry is required to carry what is called CGL or Commercial General Liability insurance. Without this, a company cannot obtain a snow removal permit from the City of Ottawa. We are insured for $2,000,000.

Yes. We are a member of the Snow and Ice Management Association (www.sima.org). We also offer a long list of references for our work, which we are glad to email to you at any time. Additionally, please feel free to visit our Testimonials page for a brief compilation of notes and comments that we have received from our customers over the years.

No, our drivers are trained to work around them. And, generally, by the time the driver makes his second pass (4-5 hours later) parked cars have usually been moved to allow for a full cleaning of the driveway. If you expect to have a car on the driveway when we arrive we recommend that you make sure to place it as close to the top and side of the driveway as possible to allow the driver maximum accessibility, or to move it onto the street if possible. If not the driver will at least clear away behind where the car is parked including any snow banks left by the city plow. Please note, for the sake of efficiency, that we do not ask our drivers to get out of their tractors and knock on your door to get you to move your vehicle(s). Please note that our drivers will typically pass by your house twice during a snowstorm. If vehicles are parked on the driveway both times the driver will not be able to complete a full cleaning of your driveway until the subsequent snow storm.

Yes, however you should be aware that some of the gravel on your driveway may get blown onto your lawn. Although our drivers make every effort to be as careful as possible it is impossible to avoid some gravel displacement until the ground freezes and the stones harden into place.

No. The tractor and blower will not crack your asphalt or interlocking stone. Although it looks large the weight of the machine is evenly distributed over the extra-large surface area of its tires, so that there is actually more weight per square inch being applied to your asphalt by your own car than by our tractors! And, our drivers are trained to lower their blowers in a controlled manner so that unnecessary jolts to the asphalt by the blower are minimized during the snow blowing process. Furthermore, driveway markers are installed on the edges of your driveway to identify the boundaries of the asphalt so that the drivers do not drive on your grass! Snow blowing with a tractor is one of the gentlest methods in the industry at the moment for clearing snow from your driveway!
