Ice Management

Managing Ice on Sidewalks and Parking Areas

At Lake County Outdoors, we prioritize safety and efficiency when it comes to winter maintenance. Proper ice management is essential to keeping sidewalks, parking lots, and drive lanes safe and accessible during the harsh winter months. We utilize a combination of salt and liquid brine for effective and environmentally responsible de-icing solutions.

Salt Applications

Traditional salt applications are a proven method for managing ice accumulation on parking areas and sidewalks. Our team applies the appropriate amount of salt to provide optimal traction and reduce hazardous conditions caused by ice. Salt is particularly effective for breaking up compacted snow and preventing refreezing.

Liquid Brine Solutions

Liquid brine is an innovative, eco-friendly approach to ice management. This liquid de-icer is applied before snowfall or freezing events, creating a barrier that prevents ice from bonding to surfaces. Benefits of liquid brine include:

Faster activation compared to rock salt
Reduced salt usage, making it a more environmentally sustainable option
Greater adherence to surfaces, even during windy conditions
Improved cost-efficiency for long-term ice control

Whether you prefer a proactive approach with liquid brine pre-treatment or traditional salt applications after snow events, we have the expertise to ensure your property remains safe all winter long.
