Why September-October Is the Best Time to Book Snow Removal Services
Reading time: 5 - minutesThe calendar might still say fall, but winter has a way of sneaking up on us in our part of the world.
We’re looking at you, 2019 (when Calgary got hit with 24.6 cm of snow in September, making that the snowiest September day in its recorded history).
Also, in October of 2018 (with a big snow event in Calgary again).
Fun times…?
If you haven’t already started thinking about booking your snow removal service, you might want to start now.
By the time the first snowflakes fly in, homeowners who waited to book their snow removal are suddenly stuck scrambling.

That’s why September and October are the best times to secure your snow removal spot.
Here’s why waiting until the first snowfall is a mistake.
1. You Beat the Winter Rush
The first snowfall always triggers a wave of phone calls and online requests. Snow removal companies can only take on so many properties each season. And here at Green Drop, we get booked out pretty fast.
Once their routes are full, new inquiries go straight to a waitlist. If you wait until winter arrives, you risk getting stuck at the bottom of that list or not getting service at all.
Booking in Sept/Oct keeps you ahead of the crowd. Instead of joining the last-minute rush, you’ll know your driveway and walkways will be cleared from the very first storm.
2. Secure Reliable Service
The best snow removal companies don’t stay available for long. Homeowners who plan ahead book them early, which means if you delay, you may be left with the least reliable or least experienced contractors.
By booking early, you get to choose your provider instead of settling for whoever still has space left.
3. Take Advantage of Early-Bird Savings
Savings are another big reason to book soon. Many snow removal providers offer early-bird rates, discounts, or added perks for homeowners who sign up before the season starts.
Locking in a contract now guarantees your place on the route and often secures a better rate.
4. Peace of Mind Before the Snow Hits

Winter is stressful enough without worrying about snow piling up on your driveway or icy sidewalks, putting your family at risk. Booking now takes that worry off your plate.
It’s just one less thing to think about as the holidays approach and the weather turns. And that peace of mind is priceless when the snow finally arrives.
