When winter hits, clear, de-iced surfaces aren’t a luxury—they’re a safety essential. Our snow crews keep walkways, stairs, and driveways clear, salted, and safe—even in heavy snow. Book your snow route before the next storm: 208-578-2246.
Why proactive snow & ice control matters
Slips spike when snow compacts into ice. Best practice is to shovel first, then apply de-icer—and when possible, lay a thin pre-treatment before the storm so ice can’t bond to the surface. ISU Extension and Outreach Blogs+2Consumer Reports+2
Choosing the right product for conditions matters, too: plain rock salt (sodium chloride) works best above roughly 15°F pavement temperature; colder snaps may need alternatives or blends. Apple Valley
Our winter safety approach (what we do for you)
- Route-based plowing & shoveling timed to storm intensity so high-traffic areas stay open.
- Targeted de-icing: thin, even applications at the right time to prevent refreeze and reduce waste. INSURICA
- Material selection: temperature-appropriate ice melt (and chloride-reduced options where feasible) to balance traction, plant safety, and performance. Penn State Extension
- On-site safety checks for hidden hazards (compacted snow, re-freeze at thresholds/steps). Perry Weather
