A windrow from a snow plow in Ajax illustrating the need for an on-call windrow removal service as part of snow removal plans in Durham Region.

What is a windrow?

A windrow is the long ridge of heavy, compacted snow that a municipal plow leaves across the end of a driveway after clearing the street. Because the plow pushes snow from the road toward the curb, these piles are often dense and icy, making them much harder to shovel than freshly fallen snow.

How we work around windrows

We start servicing our routes as soon as 4cm of snow has fallen. If a snowplow has already come by at the time of our service, windrow removal is included. If a snowplow comes after our service and leaves a windrow, you may request a windrow service. Once ordered, we will return to remove the windrow, which will be billed at your per-push rate. On-call windrow services are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Windrows present at the time of service? Removal is included!

Windrows that form after our service? Removal not included.
