Guelph winters aren't just about snowfall — a daytime melt followed by an overnight freeze can turn a clear driveway into a sheet of ice by morning, often without any new snow falling at all. Salting addresses this freeze-thaw risk directly.
Residential salting is available as an add-on to driveway or walkway clearing, applied after clearing or on its own during an ice event with no fresh snow. Commercial properties can set up salting on a recurring schedule or on-call basis as part of a lot plowing contract, with documented application logs available for liability purposes.
We use ice-melt products appropriate for Ontario winter temperatures and adjust application based on conditions — a light dusting for a mild freeze versus heavier coverage ahead of a hard freeze warning.
