What Snow Removal in Stittsville Deals With on Both Sides of Main Street
Former Goulbourn, and still two communities
Stittsville came into Ottawa from Goulbourn and the split is still obvious on the ground. The Main Street village core is older, tighter and closer to the road, while the subdivisions off Fernbank and Hazeldean are large, new and laid out to modern lot widths. One route sheet covers both, but the equipment and the pile placement are decided separately.
The old rail bed is an open corridor for blowing snow
The Trans Canada Trail follows an old rail alignment straight through Stittsville, and a former rail line is a long open fetch with nothing standing on it to slow wind down. Properties facing that corridor, or the farmland edges west and south of the community, get reloaded with drifted snow after the snowfall itself has stopped. Those addresses carry a follow-up pass written into the route plan.
New-build grading has not finished moving
In the newer Fernbank phases the sod is first or second year, the interlock is freshly set and the ground beside the driveway is still finding its level under frost. Under snow the edge of the pavement is guesswork, and guesswork is how sod gets peeled and interlock edging gets shifted. Markers go in before freeze-up so every pass follows one agreed line.
Village lots run out of boulevard first
Older lots near Stittsville Main have short driveways and very little frontage to bank a winter on. Ottawa keeps at least a centimetre on the ground about 115 days a year and the mid-winter snowpack averages 21 cm, so nothing piled up in December has gone anywhere by March. Placement is agreed at the quote and the pile is relocated on a schedule instead of in an emergency.
Fifty-two clearing days is what the seasonal price is buying
Ottawa averages 52 days a year with measurable snowfall. Against a seasonal driveway contract of $440 to $580 that lands somewhere around $9 to $11 per clearing, while the same 52 events at $80 to $140 a visit is a different order of money entirely. That arithmetic is why seasonal capacity is committed before the first storm.
Village core to Fernbank
Snow Clearing in the Stittsville Village Core and the Fernbank Subdivisions
Stittsville still reads as two places on one route sheet. The village core along Stittsville Main Street is former Goulbourn: older lots close to the road, short driveways, front walks that come straight off the sidewalk and no boulevard worth stacking a winter on. A few hundred metres away the Fernbank and Hazeldean subdivisions are the opposite problem, with fresh interlock, first-year sod and grading that has not finished settling, where the invisible line between pavement and lawn is exactly what a blade finds first. Running between them is the Trans Canada Trail on the old rail bed, and that corridor, plus the farmland edges to the west and south, is why drifting here is not a rumour. Wind lifts loose snow off open ground and lays it back across driveways that face the trail line or the field edge long after the snowfall has ended, so a property cleared at five can be closed in again by seven. Those addresses get a follow-up pass in the plan, markers go in on the new-build edges before freeze-up, and village pile placement is settled at the quote while there is still somewhere to put it.
Snow Removals Ottawa works Stittsville with both halves of its fleet – snowblower units in the subdivisions and plow trucks on the rural laneways past the field line.
Where the suburbs meet the snowbelt
Stittsville sits on Ottawa's rural edge, and its winters show it: snow arrives sideways off the open fields west of Stittsville Main, and drifting refills cleared driveways in hours. Routes here are planned with cleanup passes after windy events, not just storm passes – and equipment is chosen for properties that range from Crossing Bridge crescents to Fernbank acreages.
Snowblower streets, plow-truck laneways
Half of Stittsville is standard suburban driveways, the other half is long laneways and gravel runs where a snowblower makes no sense. We run both tools: seasonal snowblower contracts in the subdivisions and truck plowing for the long stuff – including the raised-blade first passes that keep a gravel driveway on the driveway. See price ranges for both.
