Salting & ice removal
"We've been on a seasonal contract with D&D for three winters now. Our driveway and walkway are always cleared before I need to leave for work. No chasing anyone, no excuses — they just show up."

Plowing and Salting Services
Plan winter service for driveways, parking areas and pedestrian routes with clear service areas, access requirements and written terms.

Clearing snow and treating the surface beneath
Plowing and salting perform different jobs. Plowing moves accumulated snow, while de-icing treatment addresses icy conditions on the remaining surface; the two need to be planned together for the areas being serviced.
A route through the property
Driveways and parking spaces connect to entrances and walkways. Their widths, obstacles and surface materials influence the equipment and tasks needed, especially where vehicles remain parked.
Treatment depends on conditions
De-icer selection and application need to account for the surface and weather. Salting is not a permanent barrier against new snow or refreezing, so attendance terms matter alongside the initial treatment.
A workable site arrangement
Snow-storage locations and access restrictions shape where plowed material can go. A quote should identify the clearing areas, ice-management work and any additional visits or relocation work included.

Client feedback
Salting & ice removal
"Our parking lot is a liability magnet without proper salting. D&D's plow and salt service keeps it safe and compliant all season. The seasonal rate actually saves us money versus what we used to spend on reactive service."

"D&D came out the morning after a massive snowfall and had our whole commercial lot done in under an hour. The salting was thorough — no icy patches by midday. Exactly the reliability we needed on a contract."

Agree how removal and surface treatment relate for each area, including the relevant trigger and return-visit terms.
Review changing conditions
Keep blocked areas, fresh precipitation and refreezing responsibilities distinct from completion of the initial visit.
Before the assessment
Create an area list
Separate vehicle surfaces from steps, narrow paths and entrance areas, and identify where the routes connect.
Explain obstacles
Identify parked vehicles, curbs, equipment and restricted access that affect clearing, including who can arrange vehicle movement.
Plan storage and communication
Mark permitted snow-storage locations and identify who handles access changes or extra-work approvals.

Questions about Plowing and Salting Services
Is salting always included in a plowing arrangement?
No. The written scope should identify the areas and treatment responsibilities. Ask about materials, repeat attendance and pedestrian routes separately so a plowing service is not mistaken for comprehensive ice management.
Why plan plowing and salting together?
They address different parts of winter access: moving accumulated snow and treating remaining icy conditions. Coordinating them helps define which surfaces are addressed at each stage, while the actual methods depend on the site and conditions.
What is a service trigger?
It is the condition defined in the agreement for a particular attendance or task. Confirm how it is measured or assessed and which areas it applies to, rather than assuming one snowfall threshold governs clearing and ice treatment alike.
What happens when cars block part of the lot or driveway?
Agree vehicle-movement responsibilities and how inaccessible areas are recorded or revisited. Clearing around parked cars and returning after they move are different arrangements, so neither should be left as an unstated expectation.
Can the same scope cover steps and wide parking areas?
It can identify both, but their work should remain distinct. Steps and narrow routes may need different equipment or manual tasks, and the accepted plan should show how they connect to the cleared vehicle area.
Does submitting a seasonal request reserve service?
No. Confirm availability, service areas, terms and acceptance directly. A preferred consultation time or completed enquiry is a request to discuss the arrangement, not proof of a signed winter contract or dispatch slot.
