For Calgary homeowners
Residential Snow Removal in Calgary
Your driveway, front walk and the city sidewalk in front of your home, cleared so you can get out the door and stay on the right side of the bylaw.
EPM Services clears snow from residential driveways, front walks, steps and adjoining public sidewalks in Calgary, either as a seasonal arrangement or as one-off visits when you need them.
Most homeowners call about snow removal for one of three reasons: they travel in winter, they no longer want to shovel heavy spring snow, or they simply want the driveway done before they leave for work. Each of those needs a slightly different arrangement, so we ask how you use the property before quoting.
Calgary requires the public sidewalk next to a home to be cleared within 24 hours after snow stops falling. That responsibility sits with the homeowner, so the city sidewalk is included as standard in residential scope rather than treated as an extra.
How it works
From first message to finished yard
01
Tell us the property
Address, driveway layout and which surfaces you want cleared — photos help.
02
Agree the arrangement
Seasonal coverage or per-visit service, and the surfaces included each time.
03
Clearing visits
Snow is cleared from the agreed surfaces and placed away from walkways where the lot allows.
04
Adjust as winter goes
Add a back pad, ice control or a vacation period without starting over.
Timing
Seasonal or per visit
A seasonal arrangement suits homeowners who want every snowfall handled without having to call. A per-visit arrangement suits people who usually shovel themselves but want help after a big dump or while they are away.
Tell us your travel dates in advance and we can plan around them so the sidewalk stays compliant while the house is empty.

Why Calgary snow is different
Chinooks can melt a driveway by noon and refreeze it by evening. Snow that is left to pack down tends to turn into ridged ice that is much harder to remove later, which is why clearing soon after a snowfall matters more here than in steadier climates.
Late-season storms in March and April often bring heavy, wet snow — the kind that is hardest on backs and snowblowers alike.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do you clear the city sidewalk in front of my house?
Yes. The public sidewalk next to your property is included in residential snow removal, since Calgary homeowners are responsible for clearing it within 24 hours after snowfall ends.
Can I book snow removal only when I need it?
Yes. Per-visit service is available alongside seasonal arrangements. Seasonal coverage is the better fit if you want every snowfall handled without calling.
Will you clear my back lane parking pad?
A back pad or garage apron can be added to the scope. Let us know when requesting a quote so it is included in each visit.
What if I am away for part of the winter?
Share your travel dates and we will plan clearing around them so the walks and sidewalk stay clear while the home is empty.
