Salt and sand are the typical materials used to remove ice, or deice the property during and after a winter storm. Salt is effective to a point. When temperatures dramatically drop it can begin to lose the ability to keep up with the problem. Sand can prove costly in acquiring the material and in cleanup following the storm. Both sand and salt applications are viable methods of removing ice and snow in moderate to mild storms.
Products like calcium chloride and magnesium chloride can be added to pavement and sidewalks well ahead of a storm by ProTouch Landscape. The results will be less mess to deal with during and after the storm. It provides a barrier between the pavement and the snow or ice, which makes it difficult for the ice to stick around. The exothermic qualities allow a steady release of heat for fast melting. Magnesium chloride is less effective than calcium chloride, but the cost of the latter can make the magnesium product a more attractive option.
Deicing processes during snow removal in Ontario can be employed when storms hit with little warning.

Even under the toughest conditions, the larger storms without warning can leave you completely paralyzed without doing some level of snow and ice removal. although it might not be the perfect solution, it will make the final cleanup easier.
