A few details, answered
Questions about snow & ice management.
How many inches of snow should fall before plowing?
There is no single trigger that suits every property. Traffic, slopes, surface type and access needs all matter. Metro Wide’s snow service uses a trigger agreed in advance, so the accumulation threshold and priority areas should be written into your service plan.
Should I salt my driveway before it snows?
A suitable pretreatment can help keep snow and ice from bonding to pavement, but the product, pavement temperature and forecast matter. It does not replace plowing or shoveling. Once snow has accumulated, remove it before applying deicer according to the label.
Does rock salt damage concrete?
It can contribute to surface damage, particularly when deicers are overused. Choose a product suitable for your pavement and the temperature, follow its label and use only the amount needed. Clear snow first and sweep up leftover salt once the surface is dry.
How can I prevent ice buildup on my driveway?
Shovel, plow or scrape snow before it packs down, and reassess the surface when temperatures change. Use an appropriate deicer sparingly where ice remains, following its temperature limits. Snow removal and ice treatment work together; neither can guarantee that refreezing will not occur.
