Winter in Vaughan, Woodbridge, and our other beautiful neighborhoods means dealing with snow and ice. But don’t let it get you down! Marvel Landscaping is here with some quick and easy tips on how to get rid of that pesky frozen snow and ice, and fast!

1. Melting Ice: The Quick Fix

  • Salt It Up: Before the snow even starts, spread some salt on your driveways and walkways. It lowers the freezing point of water, helping to keep that snow and ice at bay.
  • DIY Mix: No salt? No problem! Mix rubbing alcohol, dish soap, and water, and pour it over icy patches. It’s a great homemade solution. We tried this without any luck.

2. Rock Salt and Ice Melt: Your Go-To Helpers

  • Rock Salt: It’s affordable and works well when it’s not super cold (above -9°C).
  • Ice Melts: These are champs in colder temps and have different types that are even pet and environment-friendly. We use JETBLUE™ Ice Melter.

3. Homemade Deicers: Your Kitchen’s Got Solutions

  • Saltwater Solution: Mix salt with water, and you’ve got an easy deicer.
  • Rubbing Alcohol Solution: Alcohol mixed with water speeds up melting.
  • Vinegar Solution: Vinegar and water can help break down the snow.

4. Other Cool Snow Removal Tricks

  • Plastic Tarps: Lay them down before the snow falls, and just pull them off with the snow later.
  • Leaf Blower for Light Snow: Works like a charm on fluffy snow.
  • Wet/Dry Vac: Yes, you can vacuum up light snow!

5. Snow-Blowing Like a Pro

  • Pick the Right Machine: A good snow blower makes all the difference.
  • Use It Smartly: Clear paths, adjust settings, and keep it well-maintained for the best results.

Prevention: Your First Line of Defense

Get your property ready by insulating windows, wrapping pipes, and cleaning those gutters. You can even install snow-melting mats or pretreat with liquid deicer.
