Can these services help improve tenant retention at my business?

With our proactive ice melting service in place, your employees and customers will be thrilled with your business. This improves your ability to attract and retain customers. Our proactive service includes: Constant weather observation to forecast your snow removal needs Equipment and staff on standby for when ice melting is needed Equipment calibrated through monitoring the temperature of the asphalt in your area, helping us to prevent over-application and operate efficiently

Are your services pet-friendly?

We offer pet-friendly products that can be applied as either an anti-icing or de-icing treatment. Ice Melt is normally applied by hand or using a walk-behind spreader. Sometimes, if the area is larger, a UTV spreader may be used. We do the most to keep your pets safe and still get the job done.

When is anti-icing applied and what does it do?

We apply an anti-icing chemical up to 48 hours before a winter storm. This ensures that your employees and customers are kept safe, and the exterior of your business is maintained. This application prevents ice from forming a bond with the surface so it can be easily cleared away. This is a light application that will help prevent the formation of ice, light snow, and frost.

Are your de-icing products safe for my sidewalks?

These products are safer to use on concrete surfaces than sodium chloride (rock salt). They will also effectively melt snow and ice at lower temperatures than rock salt. Since de-icing requires a heavier application to melt ice that has accumulated and compacted, we monitor usage to avoid overapplication, which is, unfortunately, commonplace with many contractors. For us, more is not better. This process allows us to safely clear away any remaining ice. De-icing is mostly applied as a melting treatment following the accumulation of snow or ice.

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.

Commercial Ice Melting

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.

The crew arrived ready to transform my space, and wow is it beautiful! The guys worked efficiently and carefully, planting the bushes and plants. I would highly recommend David and the crew.

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.
