Ice Melting

During cold weather, ice can accumulate quickly on walkways, handicap ramps, driveways, loading docks, and on the steps leading up to your business, creating a potentially hazardous situation. Preventing ice accumulation in these areas helps reduce the risk of serious injury due to a slip and fall.

  • To clear these areas and keep them accessible during cold weather, entrust The Grounds Guys for commercial ice melting services. Our crews carefully monitor weather conditions and can apply an anti-icing chemical before, during, and after a winter storm to effectively prevent ice from bonding with the surface in areas where people walk and/or work.

  • Our de-icing method uses calcium, potassium, and magnesium chloride as an ice melt treatment. We use properly calibrated equipment to ensure we apply only the recommended rate and only the amount needed to do the job.

  • A liquid application is typically applied as an anti-icing treatment. This process will help prevent the accumulation of ice in treated areas. Based on weather conditions and the forecast, we will apply this treatment up to 48 hours before a storm.

  • We start with the safety of your employees and customers to ensure a safe environment; we keep entrances, walking paths, common areas, steps, patios, and driving lanes clear of ice.

  • Failing to de-ice your business can increase your exposure to lawsuits if one of your employees or a customer has an accident due to slipping on ice. Help your employees and customers avoid a potential slip and fall with our proactive service.

    Amazing work! My yard side yard went from a looking like a jungle to the garden it is supposed to look like. Justin and Angel made sure everything looked okay with me before going on to the next task. Very detail oriented.

  • White speech bubble with a star in the middle against a green background.

    The Grounds Guys do a phenomenal job. They did a major cleanup of my yard, installed new sod, laid stone, shells, and mulch, planted new Areca palms and flowers, rerouted some sprinklers, and created a flagstone path to the backyard, and all of it was down with meticulous care, attention to detail, and skill. The Guys are friendly, professional, and just a delight to deal with. They offered good suggestions for improving the yard and have communicated clearly throughout the process. I can’t recommend them enough.
