Stay ahead of winter with proactive snow and ice management

Winter in the Lower Mainland is unpredictable. Storms arrive quickly, temperatures swing above and below freezing, and one missed event can create safety risks. When snow or ice is in the forecast, Hyland Landscapes plans ahead:

Monitor Environment Canada weather and road conditions across Vancouver, North Vancouver, and West Vancouver, and line up known events ahead of last-minute demand

Mobilize equipment and crews as soon as necessary

Return as needed for follow-up plowing and de-icing when temperatures drop again

The result is calm, predictable winter property maintenance, with minimal disruption to residents, customers, and staff.

Efficient snow plowing and clearing for:

  • Strata roadways and internal streets
  • Commercial and institutional parking lots
  • Access roads, loading bays, and service lanes
  • Residential driveways and shared lanes

Machine work is only part of the job. Crews handle detailed clearing for:

  • Sidewalks and perimeter walkways
  • Building and unit entrances
  • Stairs, ramps, and landings
  • Emergency exits and fire access routes
  • Accessible parking stalls and pathways

These are the areas where slips and falls most often occur. We prioritize them accordingly.

Icy conditions in Vancouver often develop overnight or after a rain-to-freeze cycle. Ice management focuses on prevention first, then rapid treatment when surfaces become hazardous.

We provide:

  • Pre-treatment before forecasted snow or freezing rain
  • Salting, sanding, and liquid de-icing applications
  • Targeted treatment of high-traffic and high-risk zones
  • Follow-up visits during extended cold periods

For townhomes, condo complexes, and multi-building communities, strata snow removal contracts are built around:

  • Site maps outlining exactly what is included
  • Priority routing for contracted sites
  • Consistent crews who know the property layout
  • Clear communication with councils and managers before and during the season

For commercial and institutional clients, uptime and safety are non-negotiable. We support offices, campuses, retail, schools, healthcare, government facilities, and industrial yards.

Operations line up with hours, deliveries, and pedestrian flows, prioritizing:

  • Parking lots, parkades, and loading zones
  • Sidewalks, building entrances, and transit stops
  • Fire lanes and emergency access

Reliable manpower, maintained equipment, and structured project management keep sites accessible through changing conditions.

For single-family homes and smaller residential properties, we focus on what makes winter easier day to day: driveways, main walkways, entrances, and service access when it matters, plus ice control on agreed surfaces.

  • Coverage appropriate to snow and ice work, with WSBC-compliant practices and training for winter crews
  • Documented site logs and service records, plus clear reporting for strata councils, boards, and ownership groups

  • Dedicated winter crews and equipment, with maintenance schedules aimed at reducing breakdowns mid-storm
  • Fleet sized for tight residential lanes and larger commercial lots, with established routing in Vancouver, the North Shore, Burnaby, and Richmond
  • Capacity planned before the season, rather than overcommitting and hoping for the best

  • One primary point of contact for snow and ice services
  • Pre-season walkthroughs and site mapping for contract clients
  • Email or phone updates during major storm events when needed
  • Straightforward scopes, pricing, and expectations — especially when multiple stakeholders need to stay aligned

The Hyland team did a fantastic job clearing snow from our driveways and sidewalks, even on a Sunday night. It looked as though it hadn't snowed at all! Thanks guys!

We regularly complete design-build and maintenance projects for second homes and recreational properties. Communication is structured so decisions can be made remotely, using detailed plans, 3D visuals, and regular updates from the team.

Some elements — pools, certain structures, retaining walls, or significant grading — may require permits or engineering. We help identify:

  • What the municipality will likely require
  • When to involve structural or civil professionals
  • How permitting affects the timeline

We can coordinate with a broader project team, or lead the landscape-specific parts of the process.

Yes. If drawings already exist from another designer or architect, we can:

  • Review the plans for constructability and budget alignment
  • Offer feedback or refinements if needed
  • Provide a detailed proposal for landscape construction

Many clients still bring our design team in for adjustments, so design, construction, and maintenance stay aligned.

Timelines depend on scope and season. A typical design-build project follows this pattern:

  • Design: 4–10 weeks for site analysis, concepts, revisions, and final plans
  • Permitting, when required: varies by municipality
  • Construction: 4–16+ weeks depending on size and complexity

A clearer schedule comes once design and scope are defined.

For a comprehensive landscape design and construction project — design, 3D renderings, hardscaping, structures, and planting — most Vancouver homeowners we work with start around $100,000, and larger or more complex outdoor living spaces often go beyond that.

If the range is unclear, we can talk through typical budgets in an initial consultation.

Most strata and commercial clients choose seasonal contracts. Each agreement typically defines:

  • Service areas and maps
  • Trigger depths for plowing and shovelling
  • When salting or de-icing is applied
  • Response time windows and return visits during ongoing storms
  • Pricing structure (seasonal retainer, per-event, or hybrid)

Residential clients can book per-visit services or seasonal packages, depending on property size and preferences.

During active snow events or prolonged freezing periods, crews operate extended and overnight hours to keep properties safe and accessible. Specific coverage windows and priority times are set in the contract.

Each visit follows the written scope in the proposal — usually a mix of plowing, hand clearing, and ice control on agreed surfaces, with follow-up when conditions warrant.

We balance effective ice control with the landscape and with pets, choosing eco-conscious de-icing products so surfaces stay safe and walkable.

Depending on the site, we use a mix of trucks, plows, and hand crews to clear snow from vehicle and pedestrian areas. Where snow storage is limited or visibility is a concern, we can coordinate snow relocation or hauling off-site.

Yes. Hyland carries coverage appropriate to snow and ice operations, including liability for plows, blowers, and salters on the property, alongside WSBC coverage for crews. The contract confirms the details.

Yes. Strata, commercial, and institutional clients often keep one relationship for winter and year-round landscape maintenance, which simplifies scheduling and keeps a crew that already knows the site.

Use the application form on this page, or open a specific role and apply there. Include a resume and a short note about what you're looking for. We'll review your information and reach out if there's a potential match.

A valid driver's license and reliable transportation are strongly preferred for most roles, and required for leadership and mobile positions. Some crew roles may be accessible by transit depending on the location and start times.

Details vary by position, but may include competitive wages, overtime opportunities, extended health benefits, training support, and consistent scheduling. Specific benefits for each role are outlined in the individual job posting.

Many of our landscaping jobs in Vancouver BC are year-round, especially on the maintenance side and in core construction roles. Some positions are seasonal or peak-season focused, with the option to add winter hours through snow and ice operations.

New team members receive onboarding, safety training, and hands-on guidance from experienced leads. As you grow, we support additional training, certifications, and cross-training between construction, maintenance, and winter work as appropriate.

Not for every role. For entry-level labourer and some landscape maintenance crew jobs, we're comfortable training the right person who is reliable, physically capable, and eager to learn. Foreperson, lead, and specialized positions do require relevant experience.

For strata, commercial, and institutional clients, we typically work under annual or multi-year contracts with defined service levels. Residential clients can choose seasonal contracts or recurring services, depending on property size and needs.

Visit frequency is tailored to each site:

  • Weekly or bi-weekly visits for strata and commercial grounds
  • Weekly or bi-weekly for larger residential estates
  • Monthly visits for lower-intensity sites
  • Custom schedules for complex strata and commercial property grounds maintenance

Yes. Hyland is fully insured for residential, strata, commercial, and institutional work, including snow and ice removal, with WSBC-compliant crews. Site-specific safety expectations are confirmed during onboarding and in your contract, so residents and visitors can move through the property with confidence.

We start with:

  • A review of your current contract and pain points
  • A site walkthrough to assess conditions and expectations
  • A proposed scope and transition timing

Where possible, we align our start date with the end of your current agreement to keep things seamless for residents and stakeholders.

Most annual contracts begin in early spring, ahead of the main growing season. For snow and ice services, contracts are typically finalized before fall. That said, we can onboard properties at any time of year and adjust services accordingly.
