The crew that clears your property
No stock photos. This is Ted and the Dawn Till Dusk crew on real Scarborough routes with the trucks and plows that clear your property.
Where We Plow in Pickering
Pickering's commercial properties sit along a handful of corridors: the plazas on Kingston Road, the retail and office lots around Pickering Town Centre, Brock Road north and south of the 401, and the light-industrial units around Bayly Street and Squires Beach. Our crews come east from our Scarborough yard along the 401 and Kingston Road, so these corridors are a short run from the rest of our commercial routes.
Lots near the lake take heavy, wet snow, and open plazas drift back in after the plow passes. That is why the site walk matters: we look at where snow can be pushed and piled without burying stalls or blocking sightlines at the entrance, and that plan goes into your written scope.
Sidewalk rules in Pickering are not the same as in Toronto. Before you budget, read who clears the sidewalk snow in Scarborough, North York and Pickering.

Pickering neighbourhoods on our routes
Pickering Properties We Clear
Sized to what our plow trucks handle well. Big-box lots and large industrial yards that need loaders are not a fit, and we will tell you so at the site walk.
Plazas & retail strips
Kingston Road and Brock Road plazas: drive lanes, stalls, and storefront walks cleared before-hours.
Condo & townhouse complexes
Visitor parking, internal roads, fire routes, and walkways for condo and townhouse complexes.
Offices, medical & churches
Office, medical and church lots, entrances, and accessible ramps, with your opening and service times noted in the scope.
Small industrial units
Small industrial units around Bayly Street and Squires Beach: staff parking and the approach to each bay door.
What's in a Pickering Seasonal Snow Contract
Commercial snow removal is booked by the season only. No per-visit or per-storm pricing.
Lot plowing
Drive lanes, parking stalls, and fire routes plowed with our plow trucks whenever snowfall reaches the trigger depth written into your contract.
Walkway & entrance clearing
Storefront walks, entrances, steps, and accessible ramps cleared by hand where a blade can't reach.
Ice management (scoped add-on)
Salting and de-icing are never bundled in by default. If you want them, we scope the surfaces at the site walk and price them as their own line.
Written seasonal scope
One seasonal price for November through April, with every surface, the trigger depth, and the add-ons spelled out before the first snowfall.
Site walk first
We walk the property with you before quoting: lanes, islands, curbs, drains, and where snow can be pushed and piled without blocking stalls.
Service log
Each visit is recorded with the date, time, and work done, so you have a record on file if anyone ever asks what was done and when.

- Written seasonal scope agreed before the season starts
- Site map marking push and pile areas
- Before-hours routes and storm monitoring
- One contact for the whole season

- 02
Written quote
A seasonal price with the full scope in writing: surfaces, trigger depth, and any ice management you add.

On the route
Your property is placed on a before-hours commercial route and logged on every visit through April.
Commercial Snow Removal in Pickering: Questions
Do you offer commercial snow removal in Pickering?
Yes. We plow and clear small plazas, condo and townhouse complexes, office, medical and church lots, and small industrial units across Pickering, including properties along Kingston Road, Brock Road, Bayly Street and Liverpool Road. Send the address and we'll arrange a free site walk.
How is commercial snow removal priced in Pickering?
By the season only. After the site walk you get one written price for November through April based on lot size, walkway and entrance length, your trigger depth and any ice management you add. We don't offer per-visit or per-storm pricing for commercial properties.
Is salting included in the contract?
No. Salting and de-icing are scoped at the site walk and priced as their own line in your contract, so you can see exactly what you're paying for. You choose the surfaces: lots, walkways and entrances, or both.
What size of property do you take on?
Properties our plow trucks handle well: small plazas and retail strips, condo and townhouse complexes, office and medical lots, churches, and small industrial units. We don't run loaders or truck snow off-site, so big-box lots and large industrial yards aren't a fit. At the site walk we agree where snow can be pushed and piled on your property.
Can you provide a certificate of insurance?
Yes. Dawn Till Dusk is fully insured, and we provide a certificate of insurance on request before you sign.
Who has to clear the sidewalk in front of a Pickering business?
That depends on the municipality, the property and often the lease. Pickering's rules are not the same as Toronto's, so we wrote a plain-language guide, Who clears the sidewalk snow in Scarborough, North York and Pickering, on our blog. If the public sidewalk is your responsibility, we can add it to the written scope.
When should we sign for this winter?
In the fall, before the first snowfall. Commercial routes are planned ahead of the season, and a site walk now gives you a written scope and price before you need it.
