SERVICE OVERVIEW
Commercial Road Salting, With High Standards
Ice and hard-packed snow are liabilities for your crew, your tenants, and anyone who accesses your site. Our salting and de-icing services are built around preventing those conditions before they develop and resolving them quickly when they do.
We apply road salt, sand/salt mix, and chemical de-icers matched to surface type and temperature, covering construction sites, commercial parking lots, retail properties, industrial areas, and public works properties throughout the region.
Beyond reactive de-icing, we also offer anti-icing which is applied as a pre-treatment before a weather event to prevent ice bonding in the first place. Combined with our snow removal and plowing operations, most clients run both services under a single contract, meaning one call handles the full site. Scheduling runs on a storm-response basis, a seasonal subscription, or a hybrid of both.
OUR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
Serious Salting & De-Icing Capability
We've spent over 20 years managing winter sites across Ontario. Here's what that experience means for your property.
-

High-Capacity Salters
High-capacity spreader units in our fleet mean we can cover large and multi-surface sites in a single pass. N o patchwork runs, no missed zones.

Pre & Post-Storm Programs
We structure treatment around the storm, not just the aftermath. Pre-application prevents ice from bonding; post-storm passes clear what's left. One program, full coverage.

Salt Depot Relationships
Direct relationships with regional salt depots mean reliable product access even during high-demand periods when supply gets tight across the market.

Surface-Specific Products
We apply road salt, sand/salt mix, and chemical de-icers matched to surface and temperature including options safe for asphalt, stonework, and sensitive areas.

Trained, Consistent Operators
Application is deliberate. Our operators are trained to match the coverage and salt type to risk and ongoing weather conditions. No one-size-fits-all approach.

Plowing Capabilities
Salting and plowing services under one contract. One call handles the whole site so there is no gap between the plow passing and the salt going down.
Four Steps to Ice-Free Sites
OUR APPROACH
1.
Site Assessment
Properties are evaluated before service begins. Surface type, traffic patterns, grade, and risk zones all shape how and where product gets applied.
2.
Weather Monitoring
We track forecasts and dispatch based on conditions. Temperature windows, storm timing, and site thresholds determine salt application.
3.
Precise Application
The right material at the right rate. Road salt, sand/salt blends, and surface-safe de-icers are selected per conditions.
4.
Clear Communication
You get confirmation when work is done and updates during extended events. Easy to reach, proactive about keeping you in the loop.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our commercial salting, de-icing, and anti-icing services.
To learn more, visit our FAQ page or reach out directly for something specific.
-
De-icing removes ice after it forms. Anti-icing is applied before a weather event to prevent ice from bonding to the surface — it's faster to treat and easier to clear afterward. We offer both.
-
Yes. Construction sites are one of our core clientele. We manage road salting and ice control across active builds, keeping site roads, access points, and staging areas safe and accessible throughout winter.
-
We apply road salt, sand/salt blends, and chemical de-icers depending on temperature and surface conditions. Where asphalt integrity, stonework, or environmental sensitivity is a factor, we use surface-safe product alternatives.
-
Yes. Parking lot salting is a regular part of our commercial de-icing work. We service retail plazas, commercial properties, and multi-tenant lots on scheduled rotations or storm-response dispatch or a combination of both.
-
Yes, and most of our clients prefer it that way. Running salting and de-icing alongside snow removal and plowing under one contract removes the gap between services and simplifies site management.
-
Our commercial salting and de-icing runs from late October through early April, depending on conditions. During the off-season, many of our winter clients continue with street sweeping, street flushing, and exterior site maintenance to keep properties in shape year-round.
-
We operate throughout Southwestern Ontario and the GTA — including Toronto, Aurora, Newmarket, Hamilton, Brantford, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Milton, Kitchener-Waterloo, St. Catharines, Markham, and the Niagara Region.
