Salting and ice control
Salting costs $15 to $25 per application for a driveway, or $15 for a walk on its own. Salt melts ice down to about 15°F; below that we switch to sand for traction.
What is included
- Even spread on drive and walks
- Salt or sand depending on temperature
- Pre-treat before a forecast ice event on request
- Seasonal add-on covers every storm
How it works
- Add salting to any quote, or request it alone before a freeze.
- We spread after clearing so the salt works on bare pavement, not on top of snow.
- Seasonal customers can add ice management for the whole season at a flat price.
Good to know
- Rock salt is rough on concrete less than one season old and on some stone pavers. Tell us and we will use sand or a safer melt.
Questions
Is salt bad for my concrete?
Rock salt can scale new concrete that is under a year old, and de-icers with chlorides can mark some pavers. We can use sand or a gentler product on request.
