Commercial Snow & Ice Management

Winters in Edmonton aren’t a surprise. But slips, falls, and blocked parking lots shouldn’t be either.
Bison Bros provides reliable commercial snow and ice management for businesses that can’t afford downtime. From retail plazas and office buildings to industrial yards and multi-unit complexes, we keep your sites clear, safe, and open for business all winter long.

Built for Busy Commercial Properties 🏢❄️

Our commercial program is designed for properties that need consistent, professional service. Not “whenever we get there” snow clearing.

We work with:

  • Retail plazas & strip malls
  • Office buildings & business parks
  • Industrial & warehouse sites
  • Medical clinics & professional centers
  • Multi-unit residential & condo complexes
  • Restaurants, cafés, and small plazas
  • Churches and community centres

If your property has customers, staff, or tenants walking or driving through it, we can keep it winter-ready.

Complete Snow & Ice Management for Your Site

Every site is different, but most commercial clients need a combination of these core services:

Parking Lot Snow Clearing 🚚

  • Plowing of parking lots and drive lanes
  • Clearing of entrances, loading areas, and fire lanes
  • Snow pushed to pre-approved snow storage areas

Sidewalk & Walkway Clearing 🚶‍♂️❄️

  • Shoveling and clearing of sidewalks and main walkways
  • Access to building entrances, ramps, and emergency exits
  • Special attention to high-traffic and high-risk areas

Ice Control & De-Icing 🧊

  • Application of ice melt on sidewalks and entrances
  • Sanding or salting of high-traffic areas and inclines
  • Ongoing monitoring during thaw–freeze cycles

24/7 Storm Monitoring ⏰

  • Active monitoring of weather alerts and snowfall
  • Automatic dispatch during events based on your service plan
  • Priority response for contract clients

How Our Commercial Program Works

Step 1 – Site Walkthrough & Assessment
We start with a site visit to understand your layout, traffic patterns, and risk areas. We review entrances, loading zones, sidewalks, slopes, and where snow can safely be stored.

Step 2 – Custom Winter Plan
You’ll receive a clear plan outlining:

  • What areas are serviced
  • When they’re serviced (triggers & time windows)
  • Where snow is stored or when it’s hauled away
  • What level of ice control is included

Step 3 – Storm Response & Routine Service
When snow hits, we roll. Our crews follow a set route and schedule based on your contract — no guessing, no “maybe tomorrow.”

Step 4 – Follow-Up & Communication
We keep you updated during major events and are available if conditions change or you need extra service (freezing rain, extra haul-away, etc.).

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly do you respond after it snows?

Response times depend on the timing and intensity of the storm, along with your contract level. For most commercial clients, our goal is to have lots and main walkways cleared before business hours or within agreed time windows during the day.

Do you offer 24/7 service?

During active snow events and severe weather, our crews operate on rotating shifts to keep up with conditions.

What about liability and insurance?

We operate with commercial insurance and take a safety-first approach to help lower risk on your site. If needed, we can provide proof of insurance for your records.

Do you require a contract?

Most commercial clients are on seasonal or multi-month contracts, but per-visit service may be available depending on your site and our route capacity.

Can you handle multiple sites for one company?

Yes. We can bundle multiple locations under a single agreement and prioritize them on the same route.
