Benefits of Commercial Parking De-Icing

Safety: A clear and ice-free parking lot ensures the safety of your customers, employees, and visitors.
Accessibility: De-icing your parking lot allows for smooth vehicular movement, reducing congestion and increasing productivity.
Liability protection: By maintaining a safe parking lot, you minimize the risk of accidents, lawsuits, and potential business closure.
Regulatory compliance: De-icing your commercial parking lot is often required by local regulations to prevent snow and ice accumulation.

Best Practices for Commercial Parking De-Icing

Pre-treat with a de-icer: Apply a de-icer solution to the parking lot surface before the first snowfall or freezing rain event.
Regular salting: Use salt or other ice-melting products regularly, following local regulations and guidelines for application rates.
Sand or traction materials: Apply sand or traction materials to high-traffic areas or locations prone to ice accumulation.
Ice removal: Remove snow and ice from the parking lot surface using a plow or broom, taking care not to damage surrounding property.
Post-de-icing maintenance: Regularly inspect and maintain the parking lot surface after de-icing activities.

Common Mistakes to Avoid in Commercial Parking De-Icing

Inadequate salting: Failure to apply sufficient salt or ice-melting products can lead to inadequate ice removal.
Insufficient pre-treatment: Failing to pre-treat the parking lot surface with a de-icer solution can result in reduced effectiveness.
Over-salting: Excessive salting can cause damage to vegetation, vehicles, and surrounding property.
Improper equipment usage: Using improper or inadequate equipment for snow removal or ice-melting activities can lead to accidents and liability.

I love to golf but I can't putt. Sal and his team came in and gave me a beautiful green to practice on. Turns out I still can't putt. But the green rolls perfect! Thanks to Sal and his team.

Last year my husband and I finally got around to doing the landscaping at our house.
