In Halifax, the dangerous days often come after the snow: rain on snow, a midday thaw, then a hard overnight freeze. Our ice management service treats driveways, walkways, steps and parking lots to reduce ice build-up and improve traction. It is available on its own or with any snow clearing service.
Ice management options
- Rock salt: effective and economical for most driveways, lots and walkways in typical winter temperatures.
- Ice melt blends: work at colder temperatures and can be gentler on some surfaces. Useful for steps and entrances.
- Sand or grit: adds traction when it is too cold for salt to work well, or where salt isn’t wanted.
- Pre-treatment: applied before a forecast freeze or storm on commercial sites, to reduce bonding of snow and ice.
Where we treat
- Steps, landings and front entrances
- Walkways, private sidewalks and ramps
- Sloped and steep driveways
- Parking lot lanes, stalls and pedestrian routes
- Loading areas and building exits
Protecting surfaces and the environment
Salt is effective, but too much of it can harm concrete, landscaping and nearby waterways. We aim to apply the right amount in the right places and to use alternatives where you ask. If you have new concrete, pets or gardens next to walkways, mention it in your quote request.
