Richmond Hill Commercial Parking Ice Management: A Winter Maintenance Must

As a business owner or property manager in Richmond Hill, you’re likely no stranger to the challenges of winter weather. Freezing temperatures and icy conditions can be hazardous not only for your employees and visitors but also for your parking lot’s integrity. That’s why it’s essential to invest in effective commercial parking ice management strategies. In this article, we’ll explore the importance of winter maintenance, common pitfalls to avoid, and expert tips from Greenblock Property Services Ltd. to keep your Richmond Hill business’s parking area safe and efficient all year round.

Why Commercial Parking Ice Management Matters

Winter weather can be unforgiving on commercial parking lots. Icy surfaces increase the risk of slips, trips, and falls, which can lead to costly liability claims and even injuries. Moreover, neglecting your parking lot’s maintenance during winter months can cause permanent damage to the asphalt or concrete surface.

Common Mistakes to Avoid in Richmond Hill Commercial Parking Ice Management

While many business owners focus on snow removal, it’s equally crucial to address ice management in Richmond Hill commercial parking areas. Some common mistakes include:

Over-reliance on salt (sodium chloride) for de-icing, which can damage vegetation and contaminate waterways
Failure to properly inspect the parking lot surface before applying de-icing materials
Inadequate maintenance scheduling, leading to delayed or missed treatments

We had a great experience with Green Block! They overhauled our backyard last week, helping to remove old flag stone, fix the stone we wanted to leave in place, and add artificial turf.

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.

The guys from Turfblock were great to work with! Joey took care of the plan, ordering and organization of the job, and then the team showed up and completely changed (upgraded!) our backyard.

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