Grounds Maintenance

Why Grounds Maintenance Matters for Vacant Properties

An overgrown lawn, accumulated snow on a walkway, or uncollected debris are immediate signals to neighbours, local bylaw officers, and opportunistic criminals that a property is unoccupied. Many Ontario municipalities issue fines for unkempt vacant properties, and some insurers consider visible neglect grounds for policy modification.

Seasonal Lawn and Garden Care

Sentinel provides full-season grounds maintenance including spring cleanup, regular mowing throughout summer, and fall leaf and debris removal. Our crews work on a scheduled basis, ensuring your property always presents well.

Snow Removal

In winter, snow accumulation on driveways and walkways is not just a visual indicator of vacancy — it's a liability. Our snow removal contracts ensure your property is cleared after every significant snowfall, protecting both the property and passersby.

Municipal Bylaw Compliance

We track local bylaw requirements for grass height, snow clearance timelines, and property appearance standards across all municipalities in our service area. Our grounds maintenance programs are designed to keep you fully compliant.
