When winter hits cottage country, it doesn’t hold back. Heavy snowfalls, icy driveways, wind packed drifts, and slippery walkways become part of the daily landscape especially in the South Whiteshell Provincial Park and the northwest Lake of the Woods region.

For residents, cottage owners, and local businesses, keeping up with the snow can be exhausting. That’s where Oak Star Cottage Service steps in.

Over the past seasons, we’ve expanded our winter operations to provide dependable, efficient snow clearing services tailored to the unique demands of these northern regions. Whether it’s a lake access cabin, a year round home, or a commercial property, our team is equipped to keep your property safe, accessible, and winter ready.

Plow Truck Snow Clearing: Fast, Reliable, and Ready at Every Snowfall

Our plow trucks are the backbone of our winter service fleet. With the capacity to handle everything from overnight snowfalls to back-to-back storms, Oak Star delivers:

  • Driveway clearing for homes and cottages

  • Road and laneway plowing

  • Seasonal contracts or one-time clears

  • Storm-response dispatching
  • Efficient clearing for tight cottage-lane access

We understand that cottages, cabins, and rural properties often have tricky layouts and/or narrow lanes, steep driveways, and tight turnarounds. Our experienced operators know these areas well and take the care needed to clear your property without damage.

Walkway Shoveling & Salting: Small Details That Make a Big Difference

Snowplows handle the large areas, but we know winter safety doesn’t end there. That’s why Oak Star also provides:

  • Hand shoveling for walkways, decks, steps, and entrances

  • Salting and traction control
  • Ice-chipping when needed
  • Customized service for rental cottages and commercial entrances

A cleared walkway isn’t just convenient it prevents slips, reduces liability, and makes arriving at your property comfortable instead of stressful.
