Ice removal is just a part of life if you happen to live in one of the cold northern states. When using standard ice melt, you should never apply directly to a wooden deck or a snow-piled lawn. The chemicals used are actually dangerous to your plants. These chemicals can potentially cause damage to your property if used on surfaces that it was not intended for. To be safe, only apply ice melt to concrete surfaces that are at least two years old, including:

Walkways

Keep friends, family, and neighbors safe as they walk both into and past your home by clearing your sidewalks of any ice buildup. Remember that there doesn’t need to be a ton of snow for ice to form on your walkways and applying ice melt before a storm is always best.

Driveways

Icy driveways present themselves as a dangerous obstacle for anyone entering or exiting a vehicle. They can also turn your safely parked car into a slipping, sliding road hazard — especially if your driveway is on an incline!

Business Fronts

As a business owner, you have a responsibility both legally and morally to provide safe conditions for your customers. Avoid any accidental slips by keeping up on your snow and ice management this season.

Parking Lots

A frozen-over parking lot can begin to resemble an ice skating rink if not properly maintained during the winter. Plowing snow and applying ice melt regularly can help manage the issue. It will also reduce the chance of car accidents in the lot.
