Our properties say a lot about us, and we all want them to fully represent who we are in the most positive way possible. But we have very busy lives, with a lot of responsibilities. Quite often we just don’t have the time (or equipment, or expertise) to take care of our landscapes as well…
In Calgary, all commercial and residential property owners are responsible for clearing snow and ice from the sidewalks bordering properties within 24 hours of a snowfall ending.

It looks like Calgary is in for a snowfall on Friday, and temperatures are starting to fall. The good news is that trick-or-treaters will still have a nice night ahead of them – if a little bit cooler than the last few years. Just a reminder from us at Mirage to be very cautious if…
