The treatment that keeps your lots and walks from turning to ice the moment the plow leaves.
Plowing moves the snow. It does not stop the thin, nearly invisible layer of ice that forms once temperatures drop and refreeze sets in, and that is the ice that actually puts people down. Varsity Inc. provides commercial salting services that treat your pavement and walkways so they stay safe long after the plow has left the property. Timing is everything here: applied before a storm, salt keeps snow from bonding to the surface, and applied after, it breaks down the ice already forming. We read the conditions and treat accordingly, because the difference between a safe lot and a liability claim is often nothing more than a single well-timed application.
Not every surface or temperature calls for the same product. Here is how Varsity decides what goes down.
Share details about your property and Varsity will time salting and de-icing to keep every surface safe, before, during, and after the snow.
Ice does not stop at the edge of the parking lot, and neither do we. Effective de-icing services cover the walkways, entrances, and ramps where a slip turns into a claim, not just the pavement where cars park. Varsity coordinates salting with parking lot plowing and sidewalk clearing so treatment happens in the same pass, by the same crew. One snow removal contractor keeps your entire site safe from the lot to the door, storm after storm, so you are never the one explaining why the entrance was still a sheet of ice.
Do you salt before a storm or only after?
Both. Varsity pre-treats to keep snow from bonding and salts again after clearing, so your commercial salting services protect the site through the whole event.
Will salt damage our pavement or landscaping?
Varsity applies at the correct rates to limit damage and protects adjacent turf and beds, then repairs any salt-burned areas during spring cleanup.
How do you know how much to apply?
We calculate rates by surface, temperature, and storm severity, applying enough to keep pavement safe without the waste and cost of over-salting your property.
