Effective Snow Removal

Tips for a Hassle-Free Winter

Winter in Ottawa can bring heavy snowfall, making it
essential to clear driveways, sidewalks, and pathways.
Proper snow removal ensures safety, prevents accidents, and
maintains accessibility for vehicles and pedestrians.

Best Methods for Snow Removal

Snow Blowers

  • Ideal for larger areas with deep snow.
  • Maintain your snow blower by keeping the blades sharp and fuel ready.
  • Adjust settings based on snowfall depth and density.

Shoveling

  • Use an ergonomic shovel to reduce strain on your back.
  • Clear snow in layers rather than lifting heavy piles.
  • Start early to prevent ice buildup.

De-Icing Techniques

  • Use rock salt or calcium chloride to prevent ice from forming.
  • Sand provides traction but does not melt ice.
  • Consider eco-friendly options like beet juice or magnesium chloride.

Heavy snowstorms can make DIY removal difficult and
time-consuming, but professional services ensure
thorough and efficient clearing, reducing the risk of
injuries, and Daisy & Co offers timely and reliable snow
removal services to keep your property safe and
