  • Snow plowing/snow blowing operations to commence when five centimeters, or more, of snow accumulates as determined by Jonathan’s Snow & Landscaping; irrespective of day of week and including all holidays
  • No salting, sanding, or de-icing services are provided by the contractor unless otherwise specified
  • The Customer understands that plowing or ice control of a particular location may not clear the area to “bare pavement” and that slippery conditions may continue to prevail even after plowing or ice control services have occurred. The Customer understands that Jonathan’s Snow & Landscaping assumes no liability for this naturally occurring condition
  • Gravel/Unpaved Laneways: By their very nature snow plowing/snow blowing operations involve pushing a steel blade or snow blower over the surface to be cleared, if the surface is composed of loose material (ie gravel), the loose material will be displaced during snow clearing operations. This is unavoidable. Jonathan’s Snow & Landscaping assumes no responsibility for displacing gravel (or any other loose material that the laneway is composed of), and assumes no responsibility for damage caused to lawns, ground cover, shrubbery, landscape lighting, paver bricks, hardscapes, blacktop surfaces, or concrete caused by the displacement of the loose material
  • Separate crews are delegated for driveway clearing and walkway clearing, with a priority given to driveway clearing. Walkways will be cleared after 5cm of accumulation has been reached, however they will be cleared separately from driveways and may be cleared up to several hours later
  • Jonathan’s Snow & Landscaping will make every effort to clear snow before the morning and evening commute. However, timing of the snowfall does not allow us to guarantee that snow clearing will be completed for a specific time
  • Requests from the customers outside of a snowfall for extra clean-up due to (but not limited to): snow drifts, snow falling off roofs, cars being moved, or accumulation less than 5cm may be subject to additional charges
  • Clients who wish to move their vehicles out of the laneway when the operators arrive MUST move their vehicles IMMEDIATELY. Drivers will not wait for clients to sweep off cars, shovel around their cars etc.
  • Special requests for clean up after vehicles have been moved may be subject to additional charges
  • Two (2) ‘Jonathan’s Snow & Landscaping’ markers will be placed at the end of each driveway at the beginning of the snow removal season.

  • Jonathan’s Snow & Landscaping will not be responsible for any scratches or scrapes to the driveway, or any minor damages to the lawn

  • Customer understands that snow plowing/snow blowing, by its very nature, involves pushing a steel blade or snow blower over the surface of the pavement.
