Snow Removal in Doon South
Snow removal through Doon South, from the newer streets off Robert Ferrie Drive to the established crescents toward Homer Watson.
Doon South is where the long driveway problem is most obvious. Houses are set back behind two- and three-car garages, the driveways are wide, and many households have more vehicles than garage spaces, which matters when a snow event bans street parking and everything has to fit on the drive. The streets are the City's lowest plow priority, so the road plow often comes through well after the driveway has been cleared and leaves a compacted windrow across the apron; clearing that is written into the contract here because otherwise it is the hardest part of the job and the one left to the homeowner. The other local issue is new sod and young trees. A season of plow stacking in one spot on a lawn laid two years ago shows in May, so where the snow goes is agreed on the site visit and marked with stakes before the ground freezes. Doon South routes are built from the contracts signed in the autumn, and a driveway added mid-winter is placed where the route allows.

Frequently asked questions
Do the snow rules change outside Kitchener?
Yes. Breslau is in Woolwich Township, and the townships write their own winter maintenance and sidewalk by-laws, so the 24-hour figure quoted on this site is Kitchener's and not automatically theirs. For an address outside the city we confirm the applicable rule before setting up the service.
Is there a travel charge for the edges of the city?
No. Pricing is set by the property, not the postal code. What can change a quote is a very long rural driveway, a steep grade, or a property that is the only one on a route, since snow routes are built from clusters of nearby contracts.
Can you clear a shared driveway or a laneway?
Yes, if the owners agree on who is paying and where the snow goes. Shared drives on the older downtown lots are narrow and the snow has to be stacked on one side or the other, so that gets settled before the first snowfall rather than argued about in January.
