Salting and De-Icing Service
Commercial salting by the visit (draft range $120 to $250) or a flat price for the season. Rock salt works down to about 15 F. Below that we use sand or a treated blend.
For: Anyone who needs ice control without a full plowing contract.
What is included
- Salt or sand on lots, walks, ramps and stairs
- Pre-treat before forecast ice events on request
- Post-storm applications after clearing
- Log with time and photo for each application
Trigger depth, response and salting
Trigger. We plow at 2 in of accumulation. Seasonal contracts state the trigger in writing; some properties choose a 1 in trigger for entrances or a higher one for large lots.
Response. Our target is to start within about 4 hours after snowfall ends, serving seasonal contracts first. That is a target, not a guarantee, and storms that run long may get a mid-storm pass at a stated depth. Contracts spell out the response commitment before you sign.
Salting. Salt or sand is a separate line item: roughly $120 to $250 per application (draft range) depending on the property, or a flat seasonal add-on. We salt after clearing, on request or per a written trigger such as a forecast freeze.
Documentation for liability
Each visit is logged with arrival and departure times and before and after photos, so a board or manager has a time-stamped record if a slip-and-fall claim is ever made. Logs are shared on request or by monthly summary.

Questions
Do you salt without plowing?
Yes, as a stand-alone service for properties that have their own plowing.
Is salt safe for new concrete?
Rock salt can scale concrete under a year old. Tell us and we will use sand or a gentler product.
