De-Icing

Ice accumulation can quickly affect how people and vehicles move throughout a commercial property. Effective winter property management requires a proactive plan for addressing icy conditions on the surfaces tenants, employees, customers, residents and visitors use every day.

Merit Landscape Solutions provides commercial de-icing services using a range of industry-approved materials and methods to help reduce ice accumulation on walkways, driveways and parking areas.

As part of our broader snow and ice management program, de-icing can be coordinated with snow plowing, sidewalk clearing, and snow removal and hauling to help maintain accessibility throughout winter weather events.

De-Icing for Parking Lots, Walkways & Driveways

Different areas of a commercial property experience winter conditions differently. Parking areas must accommodate vehicles, while sidewalks and entrances require additional attention because of pedestrian traffic.

Merit's commercial de-icing services can address key exterior surfaces such as:

• Parking Areas: Treatments to help manage ice accumulation across commercial parking surfaces.
• Walkways: De-icing for pedestrian areas used by employees, residents, tenants, customers and visitors.
• Driveways & Access Areas: Treatments designed to help manage icy conditions on vehicle access surfaces.
• High-Traffic Areas: Focused attention on frequently used areas where winter conditions can affect property accessibility.

A Proactive Approach to Ice Management

Commercial de-icing is most effective as part of a larger winter weather strategy rather than an isolated service.

Merit's snow and ice management programs incorporate pre-season planning, resource staging and ongoing weather monitoring to prepare for changing winter conditions. Services are customized around the needs of individual commercial properties.

This preparation allows de-icing to work alongside other snow management services as conditions develop throughout a winter event.

More Than De-Icing: Complete Snow & Ice Management

De-icing is one component of Merit's broader commercial snow and ice management services. Depending on the property and weather conditions, a winter program can also include:
