Parking lot sanding is essential for ensuring the safety of your customers and other visitors, helping them navigate your lot without the risk of sliding or losing traction while walking or driving. By applying sand, you increase surface grip, making it less likely for vehicles to slip and pedestrians to fall. Sanding is crucial not only for preventing accidents but also for reducing the risk of liability suits and other potential issues that can arise from unsafe conditions.

What is the best option for snow removal?
The best option for snow removal depends on your needs and budget:
1. Snow Shoveling: Manual and cost-effective for small areas like driveways or walkways.
2. Snow Blowers: Efficient for medium-sized areas and heavier snow.
3. Professional Snow Plowing: Ideal for large properties or frequent snowfall, offering quick and thorough clearing.

2. Snow Blower: Great for medium to large areas with heavy snowfall (e.g., Ariens or Toro models).
3. Professional Snow Plow: Best for large properties or frequent snow removal, often here as a service.

What are the environmental impacts of snow removal, and how can I reduce them?
Snow removal can have environmental impacts, such as salt runoff harming plants and waterways. To reduce this, use eco-friendly de-icing products like calcium magnesium acetate (CMA) or sand. Limit salt usage and apply it only where necessary. Shoveling or using a snow blower instead of plowing can also minimize environmental damage.

What safety tips should I follow during DIY snow removal?
When doing snow removal yourself, dress warmly and wear slip-resistant boots to avoid falls. Use proper lifting techniques when shoveling to prevent back injuries. Take breaks to avoid overexertion, especially in cold weather. If using a snow blower, keep hands and feet away from moving parts and never leave it unattended while running.
