Winter service built around the property
More than a truck and a plow.
Commercial snow management requires route planning, service priorities, equipment matching, weather monitoring, communication and documentation.
OneBluePlanet develops service plans around the way a site operates—customer and resident access, pedestrian routes, loading zones, parked vehicles, accessible entrances, snow-storage limits and high-risk areas.

Winter accountability
Clear priorities during changing conditions.
Ottawa winter events can include accumulating snow, blowing and drifting, freezing rain, thaw-and-refreeze cycles and sudden flash-freeze conditions. A plan has to adapt while protecting the property’s highest-priority areas.
Priority accessEntrances, exits, emergency routes and accessible walkways.
Pedestrian safetySidewalks, stairs, ramps and high-traffic areas.
Parking operationsTraffic lanes, stalls, loading areas and parked-vehicle realities.
Snow storagePlanned stacking, relocating and hauling before piles become a problem.
Commercial winter scope
Snow and ice services for complete property access.
Sidewalks & Entrances
Walkways, stairs, ramps and critical access areas serviced using dedicated sidewalk equipment and hand crews as required.
Ice Management
Pre-treatment, salting and de-icing plans matched to surface conditions, contract requirements and site priorities.
24/7 Monitoring
Weather and property conditions monitored through events, including freezing rain, drifting and rapid temperature changes.
Snow Relocation & Hauling
On-site relocating and off-site hauling when snow banks reduce parking, visibility, drainage or future snow-storage capacity.
Documented Service
Yeti reports, service codes, photographs and GPS/geofencing can help property managers verify service and communicate internally.
Real equipment in real Ottawa conditions
Commercial capability across parking lots, sidewalks and snow handling.

Yeti + GPS/geofencing
Operational technology where it matters—inside the winter service plan.
Instead of a separate technology page, the site now explains the systems in context. Depending on the contract, OneBluePlanet can provide before-and-after photos, service records, GPS/geofencing and weather-aware communication to support commercial winter accountability.
Yeti reportingPhotos and service records tied to field activity.
GPS/geofencingGreater visibility into equipment and site activity.
Weather monitoringOperations adjust to snow, freezing rain, drifting and refreeze conditions.
Client communicationClearer updates before, during and after significant events.
Our planning process
A commercial winter plan before the first storm.
Site walkthrough

Commercial snow questions
What property managers commonly ask before awarding a contract.
Does OneBluePlanet provide residential driveway service?
No. Our focus is commercial, condominium, institutional and multi-property snow and ice management.
Can you service both parking lots and pedestrian areas?
Yes. Commercial programs can combine parking lot plowing, sidewalks, entrances, stairs, ramps, salting and hand work based on the property scope.
How is completed service documented?
Depending on the contract, OneBluePlanet can use Yeti service records, before-and-after photographs, service codes and GPS/geofencing information.
Do you provide freezing-rain response and snow hauling?
Freezing-rain response, ice management, snow relocation and off-site hauling can be included or priced according to the property and contract requirements.
When should a property manager request winter pricing?
The best time is before tender season becomes urgent, allowing time for a site walkthrough, equipment planning, snow-storage review and scope clarification.
