Strata Snow Removal for Surrey strata properties
Strata snow removal in Surrey BC — trigger-based plowing, shoveling, and salting for townhouse complexes. Documented SLAs, fire-lane priority, and photo logs for councils.
Surrey has one of the highest concentrations of townhouse and low-rise strata complexes in BC — from Clayton and Fleetwood to South Surrey. Councils here often juggle aging fence lines, large common-area turf, and snow contracts that must cover fire lanes across multi-building sites.

Common questions
What strata councils ask
Do you prioritize fire lanes and entrances?
Yes. Priority routes are mapped during onboarding so life-safety paths and main entries are cleared first on every event.
Can snow be bundled with year-round grounds maintenance?
Yes. Westmark offers annual contracts that include shoulder-season grounds and winter snow under one vendor and one COI.
