Keep Your Walkways Safer, Clear & Easy to Access

Snow-covered sidewalks are more than an inconvenience. Employees still need to get to work. Visitors need a clear route to your entrance. Residents need to come and go. Obstructed or icy sidewalks can quickly cause a safety hazard. There are also municipal requirements to consider. Edmonton's Community Standards Bylaw requires people to maintain sidewalks adjacent to land they own or occupy, keeping them clear of snow and ice. The City does not set a specific number of hours for clearing; snow and ice are expected to be removed as quickly as possible. That’s a lot easier when snow removal is already part of the plan from the first snowfall. Our snow removal packages automatically dispatch our Heroes after every snowfall. So you don’t have to watch the forecast, find someone with a shovel, or decide whether there’s “enough snow” to call. Light flurries or heavy snowfall, your heroes will be there to ensure your property can stay safe while you stay warm.

Our Sidewalk Snow Removal Services

Sidewalk Plowing & Shovelling

Our Heroes use a combination of commercial-grade electric equipment and good old-fashioned snow pushers to clear snow from sidewalks and pedestrian walkways. The tools we use are tailored to the area we’re clearing; our satellite imagery, on-site checks, and highly refined operating procedures help ensure we’re always using the right tool for the job.

Ice Control & De-Icing for Walkways

Clearing fresh snow is only part of winter sidewalk maintenance. Snow can become packed under foot traffic. Meltwater can refreeze. Alberta's freeze-and-thaw cycles can create slippery areas even when there hasn't been much new snow. When needed, our Heroes apply sand, ice melt, or a combination of both after clearing the snow to ensure safe walkways. We can also manually chip ice where buildup has already formed. Our ice-melt is composed of calcium and magnesium, not traditional salt. It melts ice fast, doesn't damage your concrete, and is far more pet-friendly. Our crews typically apply 1 pound per 30-40 feet of sidewalk to reduce the risk of slips and falls on your property during winter. Sand and ice melt aren't substitutes for removing snow and ice; they're tools that help manage slippery conditions when winter weather does what it always does. If you ever need more sand for traction at your property, free sand for traction is available at designated locations in Edmonton.

Entryway & Access Path Clearing

The last few metres before someone reaches your door matter. We clear all the agreed-upon entrances, access paths, stairs, and other pedestrian areas around your property, right down to the bare pavement, paying special attention to areas where snow can create obstructions or where people regularly walk. No climbing over a snowbank to get inside. No, handing a shovel to whoever happened to arrive first that morning. Our Heroes have you covered, all season long.

Scheduled & Automatic Snow Removal Services

You already know it will snow this winter. The only real mystery is when. That’s why our regular snow removal service is designed around automatic dispatch rather than waiting for you to call us after every storm. When snowfall reaches at least 0.5 cm, we begin scheduling service for our neighbours. Our Heroes clear properties within 36 hours after snowfall ends, and we often arrive sooner. If you already have a package and need an additional visit because of unusual conditions or another concern on your property, talk to us. We may be able to arrange extra service.

Properties We Service

Residential Homes

Fines for not clearing sidewalks start at $100 in Edmonton. Our crews work tirelessly to ensure your home is safe and compliant all winter long.

Retail & Commercial Storefronts

Retail is about more than delivering goods; it’s about delivering an experience. That experience starts before customers ever reach your front door. Your storefront needs to remain accessible to employees, visitors, delivery drivers, and everyone else walking through your door. Neighbourhood Heroes provides that accessibility by clearing snow and ice.

Office Buildings & Business Parks

Office properties can have long sidewalks, multiple entrances, connecting walkways, and pedestrian routes with very different levels of traffic. We establish your service areas in advance, giving our Heroes clear instructions for your property, so when the snow falls, we’re ready to clear it.

Condos, Apartments & Property Management

Managing winter maintenance across a multi-residential property is a lot easier when you have a crew of professionals handling the work for you. Neighbourhood Heroes can maintain designated common walkways, entrances, sidewalks, and other agreed-upon pedestrian areas throughout the winter, ensuring that residents always have access to parking and entryways.

Municipal & Institutional Walkways

Neighbourhood Heroes also works with organizations that need dependable, well-documented exterior property maintenance. Check out our commercial snow removal! We can establish snow removal requirements for designated pedestrian areas around institutional and municipal properties and incorporate them into our operating systems before winter service begins.

How Our Sidewalk Snow Removal Service Works

Our work begins before the first snowflake falls. First, we determine which sidewalks, entrances, walkways, steps, and other areas need service. That information becomes part of the service plan for your property. When snowfall reaches our service threshold, our system automatically begins dispatching Heroes. They arrive with your property's service requirements already established, clear the agreed-upon areas, and address ice as conditions warrant. You don't need to make a new snow removal plan every time the forecast changes. We handle everything for you.

No two commercial properties have exactly the same sidewalk snow removal needs. We use satellite imagery and information about your property to develop an accurate estimate based on the surfaces to be maintained, the scope of service, and any additional ice-management requirements. Our seasonal packages use predictable monthly pricing, making it easier to plan for winter maintenance rather than wondering what each snowfall will cost. Instead of paying $2 per pound of ice-melt for 40 feet of coverage, you can have a consistent all-in-one monthly fee.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does sidewalk snow removal cost?

The cost of sidewalk snow removal depends on your property, the amount of pedestrian area requiring service, your service requirements, and whether additional ice management is needed. We use property information and satellite imagery to develop an estimate based on the actual scope of work, rather than treating every commercial property the same.

Who is responsible for uncleared sidewalks in Edmonton?

Edmonton's Community Standards Bylaw states that a person must keep sidewalks adjacent to land they own or occupy clear of snow and ice. For rented or leased properties, the practical division of snow-removal responsibilities may also depend on the agreement between the property owner and tenant. Residents can report unsafe conditions, like blocked sidewalks, to authorities.

Do you offer seasonal sidewalk contracts?

Yes. Our snow removal packages are designed to provide dependable service throughout Edmonton's winter while making costs easier to plan. Once your property is enrolled, our Heroes are automatically dispatched when snowfall reaches the applicable service threshold. You don't need to request a new visit every time it snows.

How soon do you clear after a snowfall?

Neighbourhood Heroes automatically begins scheduling service once at least 0.5 cm of snow has fallen. Our Heroes clear properties within 36 hours of the end of snowfall, and we often arrive considerably sooner, depending on the storm, route, and conditions.

Where can I pile my snow?

In Edmonton, you must pile snow from your private property (such as your driveway or walkways) onto your own property, not onto public streets, sidewalks, or other people's landscapes. Homeowners should ensure fire hydrants are visible and accessible during winter.

What else can I do to keep my property safe during winter?

Clear catch basins near properties to prevent meltwater from freezing into ice. Check for drainage issues to prevent ice formation on sidewalks.
