It is a good idea to plan. That way you can address situations before they become problems. There may be parts of your property that need extra attention or that have a greater potential for mishaps than other parts of your property. It is good to address those early.

These problem areas are many times the sidewalks or walkways. Not only do they get more foot traffic, but they can also get meltwater collecting and freezing. This is unpredictable for a pedestrian and can cause them to slip and fall. Whatever you choose to use to treat this issue, make sure that it is not harmful to plants, animals and people.

Deicing is a cost-effective and safe way to prevent problems. Timing can be tricky. This product is applied before the snow starts to fall. It prevents snow and ice from bonding to walkways, so when it comes time for removal, it is a much easier job. It is also environmentally less hazardous.

Avoid accumulation. Ice can also form when snow builds up and compacts. So, make sure to begin the process of shovelling or plowing before it builds up and compacts or melts and refreezes.

If, as is true in many cases, you need to react rather than having proacted, then de-icing needs doing. Good drainage on your property is key to avoiding the build-up of meltwater that can refreeze and bond to the sidewalk, creating unpredictable hazards.
