SALT APPLICATION & ICE MANAGEMENT
Commercial & strata salting and de-icing in Burnaby.
Ice management matters even when there is no fresh snowfall. AIM Cedar Works plans parking lot salting and pedestrian ice management for commercial and strata properties in Burnaby and Metro Vancouver, with the treatment areas and conditions agreed in writing.
YOUR WINTER SERVICE PLAN
Plan ice management around the surfaces you use.
- Parking lots and drive aislesAgree on the vehicle-access surfaces to be treated, including slopes, shaded areas and known drainage concerns.
- Sidewalks and entrancesIdentify pedestrian approaches, stairs and ramps separately from areas reached by spreading equipment.
- Coordinated snow and ice serviceInclude salting alongside plowing and pedestrian clearing, with responsibilities clear if another contractor is involved.
Each written proposal confirms the service areas, rates and treatment conditions for your property.

A site assessment should distinguish vehicle lanes, parking areas, loading approaches and pedestrian routes. Mark slopes, shaded sections and places where water collects or crosses the pavement. These details help define the agreed salting areas and the questions to address before service begins.
Why surface conditions matter
Material selection and application depend on the pavement conditions and the product being used. Air temperature alone does not describe every surface on a property. A shaded entrance and an exposed parking area can behave differently, so a single coverage figure should not be treated as a universal application instruction.
Combine clearing with ice management
Removing accumulated snow and treating residual ice serve different purposes. A proposal can include truck plowing, pedestrian clearing and salting, with each scope made explicit. Tell us if another contractor handles part of the work so the responsibilities can be coordinated.
What is included in a salting quote?
The area to treat, access arrangements, product requirements and agreed treatment conditions are reviewed for the property. Pricing depends on the site and scope. Request a written proposal so you can see what is included and what would count as additional work.
Can we request salting and sidewalk service together?
Yes. Include both services in your enquiry and identify the pedestrian routes separately from the vehicle areas. Entrances, stairs and narrow paths can require a different approach from a truck-accessible parking lot.
How do we arrange service for 2026/27?
Send your property address and contact information through the quote form, then describe the surfaces and services required. AIM will review the request and confirm the proposed scope and route availability. Submitting a request does not by itself reserve service.
