Thunder Bay

Thunder Bay is home. Superior Yard Works is based here, and the John Deere machines that dig our foundations all summer push snow all winter. We are booking seasonal contracts for 2026 / 2027 now, for driveways in Current River, lots in Fort William and Port Arthur, and everywhere in between.

Snow Removal Across Thunder Bay

One crew looks after the whole winter:

01

Driveways

Opened after each snowfall, including the ridge the city plow leaves across the bottom.

02

Commercial lots

Store, office, shop and apartment parking cleared so customers and tenants can get in.

03

Stack or haul

Snow pushed back and stacked, then loaded and trucked away when the piles start eating parking spaces.

04

Salting and sanding

Salt or sand on lots and walkways to cut the ice after a freeze.

Winter in Thunder Bay

Snow can land in October and stay into April. Storms off Lake Superior can drop a lot of it in one day, and between storms the deep cold packs anything left on the ground into ice.

The city does the streets, you do the rest

The City of Thunder Bay clears the roads. Driveways, private lots and walkways are up to the owner. A seasonal contract with us means you stop watching the forecast and stop waiting for a plow that may or may not show up.

How a Thunder Bay Contract Works

From the first call to the spring melt:

  1. 01

    Tell us about the property

    Call or message us with the address, the size of the driveway or lot and what needs clearing.

  2. 02

    Quote for the season

    We come look at it and give you an honest seasonal price. We stick to our original price.

  3. 03

    You are on the route

    Book early. Thunder Bay routes fill before the first big storm.

  4. 04

    Cleared all winter

    We plow, push and stack, load and haul when the piles get too big, and salt or sand when it turns icy.

The Rest of the Year in Thunder Bay

When the ground thaws, the same crew is digging across the city:

01

Excavation and site work

Excavation for additions, garages, driveways and new builds, plus grading and site prep.

02

Foundations and basements

Foundation repair and basement waterproofing for older homes on clay and rock.

03

Drainage

Sump pumps, weeping tile and grading to keep spring melt out of the basement.

04

Yards

Retaining walls and lockstone, concrete and sod to finish the job.

What a Season Costs

Every Thunder Bay quote is based on the size of the driveway or lot, how often it needs clearing and whether you want salting, sanding or hauling. One price for the whole winter, and we stick to it.

Thunder Bay Snow Questions

Do you plow residential driveways in Thunder Bay?

Yes. We clear residential driveways and commercial lots in Thunder Bay with seasonal contracts.

Will you clear the windrow the city plow leaves?

Yes. Clearing the heavy ridge at the end of the driveway after the city plow goes by is part of keeping your driveway open.

When should I book snow removal in Thunder Bay?

In the fall, before the first big snowfall. Routes fill up, and booking early makes sure your property is on ours.

Do you haul snow away or just push it?

Both. We push and stack snow when there is room, and load and haul it away when the piles get too big.

We work across Northern Ontario from our Thunder Bay base. Pick a town to see what we do there.
