January Landscaping & Snow Removal Services in Toronto, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Markham & the Greater Toronto Area
Winter Weather Doesn't Wait. Neither Should You.
As the coldest and snowiest month of the year, January presents unique challenges for both homeowners and business owners in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). From heavy snowfall and black ice to blocked driveways and inaccessible storefronts, winter weather in January requires proactive, reliable snow removal and landscaping care.
At GroundScape Solutions, we specialize in residential and commercial snow removal, winter landscaping maintenance, and emergency snow clearing across Toronto, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Markham, and nearby regions. With over 15 years of experience handling Canadian winters, we’re Toronto’s trusted partner in keeping properties safe, functional, and compliant all season long.
Why January is the Most Demanding Month for Snow Removal in the GTA
January averages 20–30 cm of snowfall in Southern Ontario, but the challenge isn’t just the volume—it’s the frequency and volatility of snow events.
- Sudden snowstorms can dump 10–15 cm in just hours
- Temperature swings cause freeze-thaw cycles that lead to dangerous black ice
- City plows may block in driveways and storefronts during snow clearing
- Sidewalk clearing laws require timely action (within 12 hours in Toronto)
Failure to address these issues isn’t just inconvenient; it can result in:
- Fines and penalties for non-compliance
- Slip-and-fall liabilities
- Business closures or missed deliveries
- Emergency access blockages
With January being peak season, securing a reliable snow removal partner is essential.
