Snow Removal
Snow Removal Calgary and Edmonton
Alberta weather is unlike any other weather in the world. Winter can be long, cold and unpredictable, especially in Calgary and Edmonton.

This winter, let our Yardworx professionals take care of your snow removal tasks.
What Does Yardworx Offer?
The heavy snow we get every winter in Calgary and Edmonton means homeowners and business owners have to be responsible to keep things safe and accessible. This is especially important if there are elderly family members or neighbours.
Snow accumulating within the grounds of a business creates a safety risk for customers, staff, and suppliers, as well as other visitors to the premises such as city workers.
In addition to keeping your premises accessible, the Yardworx snow removal services will help you abide by your civic duty (in both Calgary and Edmonton) to keep your property and surrounding sidewalks clear of snow.
Our Monthly Snow Removal Plans include:
- Snow clearing within 24 hours of the end of a snowfall
- Unlimited visits after every snowfall – this means if it snows for 30 days/month, we will make 30 visits
- Flexible billing date range
- We offer a flat monthly rate for residential and commercial properties
- Our crew can come out more than once per day
