The oldest village in Ontario east of Kingston and county seat of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell. Riverside properties exposed to wind off the Ottawa River.
L'Orignal sits directly in the wind coming up the Ottawa River. Riverside properties and the streets running down to the water get blowing snow even on days it isn't snowing. Because the village is small, contractors who service it usually do so as part of a route that also covers Hawkesbury or Vankleek Hill — which means a spot on that route gets booked early. The heritage properties around the old courthouse also need a lighter touch.
Driveways over 100 feet, farm lanes and access to agricultural buildings. Blower or loader depending on length.
Removal of accumulated snow and ice dams from low roofs, garages and additions.
Treatment of icy surfaces, with extra passes during freezing rain events.
No contract — a single clearing after a big storm. Availability depends on the contractor's load.
Free, no obligation
