Why Salt is Essential in Your Winter Snow Removal Strategy

January 4, 2025

Winter in London, ON, and the surrounding areas can be a magical time of year, but it can also be a challenge, especially when it comes to dealing with snow and ice. At Wildroses Landscaping, we offer our customers a comprehensive winter snow removal strategy, which includes salting services. But why is salt so important in your winter snow removal strategy? Let's dive in and learn more.


Understanding Salt's Role in Your Snow Removal Strategy


Salting is a crucial part of any effective snow removal strategy. Salt lowers the freezing point of water and prevents snow and ice from bonding to the pavement, making it easier to remove. When salt is evenly distributed, it can melt the ice and offer a level of safety for those walking on the surface. Moreover, salting your walkways, driveways, and other high-traffic areas can prevent unfortunate accidents due to slipping on icy surfaces.


The Science Behind Salting


Salt works by lowering the freezing point of water. When ice melts, if the temperature of the surface is above the new, lower freezing point, the ice will continue to melt, preventing a build-up of ice and snow. This process, known as freezing point depression, is what makes salt an effective tool in snow and ice management.


Effectiveness of Salt in Melting Snow


Salt is a cost-effective and proven method of dealing with snow and ice. It can quickly break down ice layers and provide safe and clear pathways in and around your property. However, keep in mind that the effectiveness of salt in melting snow will decrease with temperature fall. It works best at temperatures just below freezing.
