At Mitchell Property Maintenance, we are dedicated to providing dependable and efficient snow removal and Anti-icing services to keep your property safe and accessible throughout the winter months. With another Canadian winter on the horizon, we are committed to ensuring smooth operations and effective service delivery.
To achieve the best possible results, we’ve outlined essential guidelines, reminders, and updates for the upcoming season. By working together, we can maintain a safe and well-managed property, even during the most challenging winter conditions. Here’s how we’ll work with you—and how you can help us provide the best service possible.
Service Area and Access Guidelines: How We Work for You
At Mitchell Property Maintenance, we focus our operations on areas that are accessible by standard plow equipment and salt trucks to deliver top-notch snow removal and anti-icing services. To ensure smooth service and maintain efficiency, the following guidelines apply:
- Clear Access Required: Areas blocked by vehicles, trailers, skids, or stock cannot be serviced. Ensuring clear access is critical to allowing us to do our job effectively. Claims arising from unserviceable areas due to obstructions will not be the responsibility of Mitchell Property Maintenance.
- Hand Shovel Driveways: For residential and condo driveways requiring hand shovelling, we enforce a “bumper back” policy—clearing only from the rear of the vehicle to the roadside. A minimum of 30 inches of clearance is required around any obstructions to ensure safe and effective snow removal.
By adhering to these guidelines, we can provide you with the reliable and efficient winter services you expect from us.
Strategies for Optimized Winter Service: How You Can Help Us
Your cooperation is essential to ensure efficient snow removal, safe conditions, and uninterrupted service. Please review the following guidelines:
Parking Guidelines
Park Indoors or Strategically Outdoors:
- Whenever possible, park vehicles indoors or move them out of the way before service begins. This allows us to clear the entire area effectively.
- If parking outdoors, position vehicles closer to the centre line of the driveway. Leave at least 30 inches of clearance along walkways to ensure clear paths to entrances.
- Avoid blocking designated snow storage areas to allow for efficient snow placement.
Safety Reminders
- Maintain Distance from Winter Equipment: Do not follow plows or salters, as they frequently stop and reverse. Always maintain a safe distance from our equipment for everyone’s safety.
- Use Appropriate Winter Footwear: Despite the thorough application of salt and anti-icing products, isolated slippery spots may still develop. To ensure safety, staff and visitors are encouraged to wear footwear with excellent traction and practice safe walking techniques to reduce the risk of slips and falls on icy surfaces.
Service Policies
- One Visit Per Service: Driveways will be cleared once during each service visit. Avoid moving vehicles after the area has been cleared, as we do not return for additional passes during the same visit.
Preseason Preparation
- Prepare Snow Storage Areas: Clear and organize snow storage spaces before winter begins to ensure efficient service throughout the season.
- Understand Our Anti-Icing Products: We use an Organic Brine Solution for walkways, which is highly effective but invisible. Unlike traditional salt, you may not see visible residue, but rest assured it is working to prevent ice formation.
By following these guidelines, you can help us maintain a safe and seamless winter season while ensuring the highest level of service. Thank you for partnering with Mitchell Property Maintenance.
New for 2024-25: Eco-Friendly Solutions
We’re introducing Organic Brine Solution for walkways, which will be applied as frequently as possible and supplemented with Eco-Treated Melter during harsher weather conditions. While brine is highly effective, it’s invisible, so don’t expect the typical visual residue of traditional salt.

At Mitchell Property Maintenance, we’re continually investing in advanced tools and technology to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of our winter services. Our efforts include:
- Enhanced Product Tracking: Advanced tools to monitor the application of anti-icing products ensure precision and effectiveness.

Significant Snowfall Event
During significant snowfall events, Mitchell Property Maintenance adjusts its approach to ensure your property remains as safe and accessible as possible. These events often involve heavy accumulations over a short period, creating challenging conditions. Here’s how we manage such situations and how you can assist:
- Daytime Snow Clearing: Heavy daytime snowfall creates unique challenges, such as road traffic slowing equipment travel and parking lot congestion hindering service. Our focus during these events is on keeping your business safe and accessible, prioritizing entranceways, loading docks, and main main roadways and routes.
- Snow Levels for Service: Snow clearing begins once snow levels reach approximately 5cm, ensuring we focus on the most pressing needs while minimizing disruptions.
- Anti-Icing Measures: Parking lots and walkways are pre-treated with salt or organic brine solutions to prevent snow bonding to surfaces. While surfaces may appear snow-covered, they remain non-slippery to ensure safer conditions for vehicles and pedestrians.
- Post-Snowfall Cleanup: After-hours services are scheduled to return all areas to a fully cleared state once snowfall has ended.
How You Can Help:
- Ensure snow storage areas are clear of obstructions to allow for efficient clearing.
- Avoid movement near snow-clearing equipment to ensure safety.
- Remember, service is provided on a route basis. No exclusive or dedicated service contracts are available.
At Mitchell Property Maintenance, we are dedicated to keeping your property safe and accessible during winter’s most challenging moments. Thank you for your cooperation as we work together to navigate significant snowfall events.
