What time will Arbutus Ridge properties be cleared in the morning?

PlowWow's Arbutus Ridge seasonal contracts include a written 6:30 a.m. finish time on commercial and mixed-use sites and 8 a.m. on residential stratas. Crews are pre-staged on the westside and dispatch on forecast, not on observed accumulation.

Do you clear the public sidewalk on West Boulevard and West 16th?

Yes. Public-sidewalk clearing under City of Vancouver Street and Traffic By-law No. 2849 is included in the base scope of every Arbutus Ridge commercial contract.

What de-icer do you use on brick, flagstone and tile entries?

Pet-safe magnesium chloride or calcium magnesium acetate. Both work at lower temperatures than rock salt and are safe for heritage stone, concrete, plantings and pets. Rock salt is never used on heritage surfaces.

How does the contract handle freezing rain when there's no fresh snow?

Refreeze and freezing-rain dispatches are included in the seasonal price. Most Vancouver westside slip claims trace to a refreeze morning, not a snowfall morning.

Is my Arbutus Ridge strata's mail kiosk and mews included, or only drive aisles?

Entrance walkways, mail kiosks, guest parking aprons, ramp approaches, stair runs and pedestrian mews are all in scope. Anything unusual — heated ramps that fail, shared laneways with neighbours, courtyard fountains — is called out on the site walk and priced explicitly.

When should we sign for the coming winter?

October. Westside capacity fills before November every year, and early signing locks in pre-inflation pricing.
