De-Icing & Salting
Ice is the silent hazard of a mountain winter. We apply the right melter for the temperature — rock salt, calcium chloride, or an eco-friendly blend — and pre-treat surfaces before storms so ice never bonds to pavement in the first place. Every application is paw-safe and plant-conscious.
Key Service Standards

Our de-icing process
Pre-Storm Anti-Icing
A liquid brine pre-treatment goes down before the flake falls to prevent ice from bonding.
Targeted Melter Application
Tailgate and walk-behind spreaders lay the correct melter for the current sub-zero temp range.
High-Traffic Focus
Sloped driveways, ramps, and shaded commercial entries get extra coverage where ice lingers.
Refreeze Inspection
After warm-afternoon melt, we check for refreeze and re-treat before the overnight freeze sets in.
