When winter hits Edmonton, snow and ice can quickly turn driveways, sidewalks, and entryways into dangerous slip zones. Every year, residents face injuries caused by icy surfaces — but with professional snow removal services, these hazards can be significantly reduced. Let’s explore how reliable snow clearing helps keep your property safe and accessible all season long.
Frequent snow removal prevents layers of compacted snow from turning into solid ice. At Neighbourhood Heroes, our snow removal teams clear properties within 24 hours of every trace of snowfall, with unlimited visits from November through April.
By removing snow promptly, we reduce the chances of meltwater refreezing overnight — a major cause of black ice on walkways and driveways.

Snow removal is only part of the equation. The correct use of sand or ice melt helps prevent slippery conditions between snowfalls.
Our Sand and Ice Melt add-on ensures that treated areas stay safe without damaging concrete or nearby vegetation. Products like calcium chloride are effective even in extreme temperatures — a must for Edmonton winters.

Driveways, entrances, and pathways can accumulate packed snow that becomes treacherous when temperatures fluctuate. Regular clearing ensures these surfaces remain accessible, reducing the risk of slips when entering or leaving your home.
Our Pristine Removal’s package covers all functional areas — including decks, patios, and sidewalks — ensuring your entire property stays walkable and secure.
Even when snow looks harmless, a thin layer of ice can lurk beneath. Professional crews are trained to detect and address these hidden dangers, applying ice melt where necessary and ensuring every corner of your property is safe for foot traffic.
