“I got the number of this company from a trailer on the way to work. I called with low expectations as we rarely have had any luck with landscapers/ yard maintenance people in the past. Finding Dave at Jim’s Mowing has been amazing. Fast service, accurate detailed quotes and a great guy to deal with. Good price, good reliable service from a nice guy. Highly recommend this company!”
“We have used Jim’s mowing for several years now. Stu, Connor and Gareth all provide outstanding service and very fair prices. This year besides cutting the grass and general care of our lawns they also helped us with some landscaping. Our gardens now look spectacular thanks to Jim’s Mowing fine work.”
“I have been using Jim’s Mowing for many years and have always been extremely happy with their service. Today my roommates and I were absolutely blown away by the AMAZING job Daniel & Brooklyn did clearing away a spectacular amount leaves from the flower beds, lawn and curb. Perfection! We highly recommend Peter and his Team.”

Gutter Cleaning in Squamish!
Fall is here in Squamish and leaves are coming down in droves.Build up of debris from wind and rain can cause water to pool in your gutters, and this can lead to roof or interior damage, mould, flood damage, and even structural damage in the worst of cases. Gutter cleaning should always be a top priority each year in the early Fall.
Why you need a gutter cleaning service
Our gutters are designed to help direct the flow of water away from our homes. The persistent, and often endless, rains we get in Squamish run off the roof into the gutter, down the spout and out onto the lawn in an area that will runoff away from the foundation of your home.
Over the Spring, Summer and Fall debris can build up in your home’s gutters. Leaves, pine needles, acorns, and other such debris can clog your gutters which then overflow, and there’s no shortage of falling debris here in Squamish.
Not only can the gutters get clogged, but the spouts can get damaged, leaving the run off water pooling at your foundation instead of being directed away. Don’t risk structural damage by omitting to do your gutter cleaning. Call BC Mowing and More! at 1-833-999-5467 for a free gutter cleaning quote!
Doing your gutter cleaning yourself?
If you choose to do your gutter cleaning yourself, safety should always be your top priority. Many accidents occur from gutter cleaning in Squamish every year because of slippery weather conditions combined with ladder work. Ladders should always be properly set up and spotters should always be present to hold the ladder, provide first iad, or call for help. Harnesses should always be used for second storey gutters and when appropriate.
Any time you are doing work higher than 6 feet off of the ground you are putting yourself at great risk. Although we encourage our community to be active and try their home maintenance themselves when time permits, we also strongly encourage our customers to trust the professionals to do any work at height, especially gutter cleaning in slippery and wet conditions.
If you would like try your own gutter cleaning in Squamish there are several methods you can use, which all depends on your comfort level, equipment, and bucket. You’ll need a ladder tall enough to reach your gutters, but aside from that, the most basic things you will need are some heavy duty gloves, a garden trowel or gutter scooper, and a bucket. To clean it by hand, you’ll want to slowly use the trowel to slowly scoop out the debris and dump it into your bucket. When you’ve scooped out as much as you can, you’ll need to go to the furthest point away from the downspout with a hose and wash away whatever lingering debris you can.
Is Fertilizer/Fertilizing Enough?
In Squamish, there are some some other methods we use at BC Mowing and More! for gutter cleaning to get the job done right including a leaf blower, a wet/shop vacuum, and power washer or garden hose. If you have the right tools and experience using these for these methods, you could decide to try them. However, the risk from these methods is much higher than by hand. To use a blower, you might find yourself hanging onto the ladder while operating this power tool, or perhaps you may need to get fully onto the roof get the job done properly. While these methods are quicker and more effective than hand cleaning, these methods are also far more dangerous. Always use harnesses when working at heights.
Consider a professional!
Of all the maintenance tasks that should make your home maintenance list, gutter cleaning is one of the most important, especially here in British Columbia where organic debris is constantly falling from our trees blocking our gutters, and plenty of rain falls trying to find its way into our homes.
The structural damage to both your roof and foundation that can be caused by clogged drains and broken gutters is far too great a risk not to get your gutter cleaning taken care of, yet gutter cleaning is a daunting task to do by yourself. Even the first floor gutter is high enough off of the ground for there to be a safety risk. Using power equipment may speed the entire process up, but it also increases the risk and danger. Hand cleaning your gutters is safer, but could take hours or even days if you’re inexperienced. We would always recommend looking into professional service providers like BC Mowing and More! in Squamish.
