What Does Salting the Roads Do?

Salting the roads is essential in maintaining safe winter travel conditions. It helps to prevent the buildup of ice, keeps snow from bonding to surfaces, and ensures safer driving and walking.

Here are some benefits of our salting services:

• Melts ice and snow: Salt lowers water's freezing point, helping melt ice and snow on roads and walkways even when temperatures drop.
• Prevents ice formation: Applying salt before a storm can prevent ice formation, ensuring surfaces remain clear and safer for travel.
• Enhances traction: By breaking down ice, salt improves roadway traction, reducing the likelihood of vehicles slipping and sliding.
• Facilitates snow removal: Salting surfaces before heavy snowfall makes it easier for plows and shovels to remove snow, as it helps keep snow from bonding to the pavement.

Mark's Professional Tree Service LLC's Salt for Snow Removal

Our salting services are designed to efficiently manage ice and snow, ensuring safety and accessibility in harsh winter conditions.

Here's how the process works:

1. Assessment and planning: We begin by assessing the specific areas requiring treatment and planning the optimal amount of salt required based on anticipated weather conditions.
2. Pre-treatment application: Our team applies salt to critical areas before a storm hits, preventing ice from forming and reducing hazards.
3. Monitoring and adjusting: Throughout the snow event, we continuously monitor conditions and adjust our salting approach to maintain effectiveness.
4. Post-storm follow-up: Once the storm has passed, we perform a final salting to ensure all remaining ice is melted and surfaces are safe for use.

When Should You Salt Your Driveway?

Salting your driveway is best done before snow accumulates or when icy conditions are forecast. By spreading salt, you can prevent ice from forming, making it easier to clear snow away and keeping your driveway safer for walking and driving.

If ice has already formed, applying salt can still help by melting the ice more quickly and reducing the risk of slips and falls. Monitor weather forecasts and be proactive in salting your driveway to ensure maximum safety.
