Ice & De-Icing

Plowing Gets the Snow — De-Icing Gets the Danger

Snow removal handles the accumulation but ice is a different problem entirely. A plowed driveway that refreezes overnight is just as hazardous as one that was never plowed. Cincinnati’s winter weather pattern — snow followed by a temperature drop, then a partial melt, then a hard freeze — creates ice conditions that are often more dangerous than the original snowfall.

De-icing treats the surfaces that matter most — driveways, walkways, steps, and building entries — with professional-grade ice melt that breaks the bond between ice and the surface and prevents refreezing in the critical hours after a snow event. Applied correctly and at the right time, it’s one of the most effective safety measures you can take for your property in winter conditions.

We offer de-icing as a standalone service and as an add-on to plowing visits. For high-traffic areas, entries where people are arriving and departing, and any surface where a slip and fall would be a genuine concern, de-icing is the completion of the job that plowing alone doesn’t finish.
