How do you maintain a safe environment?

We start with the safety of your family and guests. We consider how they will navigate your property by both car and foot. We also evaluate exterior areas that are accessible, such as a deck and/or patio. To ensure a safe environment, we perform the following: Keep entrances, walking paths, steps, common areas, driveways, parking areas, and driving lanes clear of ice. Make sure ice does not accumulate in high-traffic areas. Promptly remove ice to keep your property accessible in cold weather.

Are your products safe for pets?

We also offer pet-friendly products that can be applied as an anti-icing or de-icing treatment. Pet-friendly ice melt is normally applied by hand or using a walk-behind spreader. Sometimes, a UTV spreader may be used if the area is larger.

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 use this treatment up to 48 hours before a storm. We apply only recommended application rates using properly calibrated equipment to ensure we put down only the amount needed to do the job.

De-icing applications are mostly applied as melting treatments following the accumulation of snow or ice. Our de-icing method uses calcium, potassium, and magnesium chloride as an ice melt treatment. These products are safer for 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 clear away any remaining ice safely.

Ice Melting

During cold weather, ice can accumulate quickly on walkways, handicap ramps, driveways, decks, patios, and the steps leading up to your home. To clear these areas and keep them accessible during cold weather, entrust The Grounds Guys^® with residential ice-melting services.

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.
