5 Best Snow Removal in Toronto (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

Brad Smith
By Brad Smith, Home Services Expert · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 7 min read

The first big dump of the season always catches someone off guard, a driveway nobody can move a car out of, a walkway that's one patch of ice from a lawsuit. Gardenzilla Lawn & Garden leads snow removal in Toronto with 591 reviews and a 4.9 rating, nearly double the review count of any other name on this page. The five operators here span a full point of rating, from 4.4 up to that 4.9 high.

Short answer: Gardenzilla Lawn & Garden tops the list with a 4.9 rating across 591 reviews, though most of that feedback is about its lawn and garden work rather than winter service specifically. Monster Plowing Company (4.4, 135 reviews) is the only business here built entirely around snow and ice removal, with over 200 seasonal staff and a flat-rate model. Four of the five are landscaping companies that add snow removal seasonally; only Monster Plowing does it year-round as its core business.

Gardenzilla Lawn & Garden

4.9591 Google reviews

Gardenzilla is primarily a lawn and garden company in Midtown Toronto, running weekly mowing plans, seasonal cleanups, and landscape installations, with snow removal listed as one of its services for existing property-care clients. Its site markets simple, upfront online pricing rather than custom quotes for every job. Nearly all of its public reviews describe spring cleanups and garden work rather than winter service, so if snow removal is your only need, ask specifically about its winter program and coverage.

What people praise

  • Reviewers consistently praise the crew's efficiency and friendliness across multiple visits
  • Transparent, published pricing rather than a black-box quote process
  • Staff members get named and thanked individually in several reviews
  • The owner replies personally to nearly every review

Worth knowing

  • Its review history is almost entirely about lawn and garden work, not snow removal specifically, so ask for winter references before signing a seasonal contract.

Our take: It has the strongest rating and review volume on this page, but that track record was built on lawn care, not snow, treat the ranking as a sign of a well-run company rather than proof of its plowing specifically.

Mr. Mow It All Snow Removal and Lawn Care

4.5299 Google reviews

Mr. Mow It All has provided property care in Toronto since 2006, according to its site, and pairs weekly lawn mowing and gardening with seasonal snow removal for the same client base. It positions itself as a full-service urban property care company rather than a snow-only operation. Reviews describe both sides of the business: landscaping work like weed removal and hedge shaping, and winter service for homeowners on a monthly snow plan.

What people praise

  • Long-term clients, one review cites four straight years, praise consistent attention to detail
  • The landscaping side gets strong before-and-after praise in multiple reviews
  • Individual crew members are named and thanked repeatedly

Worth knowing

  • One detailed review describes inconsistent clearing and slow response during a difficult stretch of storms this season; the company's customer service team offered a credit and says it's working on operational fixes, worth confirming current winter staffing before signing a seasonal contract.

Our take: The lawn care side has a strong track record, but the one detailed winter complaint is worth reading in full before you commit to a season-long snow contract, especially if you're relying on it for an elderly relative.

Epstein Property Care Inc

4.9108 Google reviews

Epstein Property Care is a Toronto landscaping and design company whose site lists snow removal as one line among lawn maintenance, garden design, and hardscaping. Owner Jonathan is named directly in nearly every review, and the business appears to run on a smaller, more personal scale than the larger operators on this list. Its public reviews focus entirely on landscaping and garden makeovers rather than winter service.

What people praise

  • Owner Jonathan personally scopes and follows up on jobs, per multiple reviews
  • Reviewers highlight quick turnaround, some jobs completed the same day
  • Consistently described as easy and low-stress to work with

Worth knowing

  • No public reviews specifically about its snow removal service, so ask for winter-specific references if that's your priority.

GTA Landscaping Toronto

4.7101 Google reviews

GTA Landscaping is a Toronto design-build company whose core work is pools, patios, decks, and interlock paving, with grounds maintenance and snow removal offered as an add-on service line on its intake form. Its public reviews are almost entirely about major landscaping and pool-construction projects rather than winter service. It positions itself as an award-winning contractor for larger backyard rebuilds.

What people praise

  • Reviewers consistently praise communication and staying within the estimated budget on big projects
  • Named staff get individually credited across reviews
  • Strong track record on complex jobs like drainage systems and custom patios

Worth knowing

  • The oldest average review date on this list, and none of its public reviews mention snow removal specifically.

Our take: It's a genuinely strong landscaping and construction contractor, but there's no public evidence here of its winter service, treat the snow-removal listing as a convenience add-on rather than a reason to hire it.

Monster Plowing Company

4.4135 Google reviews

Monster Plowing is the only business on this list built entirely around snow and ice, not a landscaping company with plowing added on. Its site says it's been running since 2008, that it's been voted GTA's best snow removal company for 12 years, and that it operates more than 200 seasonal staff and 90 plow trucks across roughly 900 contracted sites. It runs a flat-rate, zero-tolerance model, meaning unlimited visits for the season rather than a per-visit charge.

What people praise

  • Reviewers specifically praise fast, proactive communication ahead of storms
  • Multiple reviewers say the team went beyond the job, helping dig out a stuck vehicle in one case
  • Long-term commercial and condo clients describe consistent, reliable service across full seasons
  • Detailed weather-tracking emails before storms get called out as reassuring

Worth knowing

  • One detailed review describes delayed clearing during what the company says was one of Toronto's largest snowfalls since 1999; it responded publicly and encourages clients to call directly during major storms.

Watch: 5 Best Snow Removal in Toronto (2026)

How we scored these companies

Rating is each company’s live Google average, and review volume shows how many customers actually left feedback. Confidence blends both, so a strong rating backed by hundreds of reviews counts for more than the same score on a handful. Recency checks whether people are still reviewing a business now, not years ago. No company can pay to move up this list.

What does snow removal cost in Toronto?

We don’t have a verified, current local price list to publish here, and pricing varies a lot between a flat seasonal contract, a per-visit charge, and a one-off emergency callout. Ask each company whether their quote is per season, per visit, or per storm, and what triggers an extra charge.

Serving Toronto and the GTA

These companies collectively cover downtown Toronto, East York, North York, and out to Etobicoke and Mississauga, with Monster Plowing’s listed footprint reaching roughly 900 sites across the wider GTA. If you’re searching for snow removal near me in Toronto, decide first whether you want a dedicated winter specialist or a year-round property-care company that also plows, then match your pick to that priority.

What to ask before you hire a snow removal company

  • Is this a flat seasonal rate or charged per visit or per storm?
  • How many properties does one crew cover, and what’s the guaranteed response window?
  • Do you clear walkways and entrances, or just the driveway?
  • What’s your policy for a storm that hits on a holiday or weekend?
  • Is de-icing or salt included, or billed separately?
  • Can I get references specifically for winter service, not just landscaping?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

Why do most of these read like landscaping companies?

In Toronto, snow removal is often sold as an add-on by lawn and garden companies to their existing property-care clients. Monster Plowing Company is the only business on this list built entirely around winter service.

How did you choose these five?

We compared Toronto-area companies offering snow removal with a real Google track record and ranked them on rating, review volume, and how recently customers are still reviewing them.

How often is this updated?

We last verified this list in July 2026 and refresh it as ratings and review counts change.

Should I book a seasonal contract or wait and call after a storm?

A seasonal contract with a dedicated specialist like Monster Plowing guarantees a response window. Waiting until after a storm to call around usually means longer waits and higher one-off pricing.

The bottom line

If winter service is genuinely your priority, Monster Plowing Company is the safer default, it’s the only dedicated snow specialist here with the fleet and storm-response history to back it up. If you already use one of the landscaping companies for lawn care, ask them directly for winter references before assuming their snow service matches their gardening reputation.
