Icy sidewalks and driveways can be dangerous. Our professional de-icing services help prevent slips and falls, keeping your property safe in winter.
Winter ice creates dangerous conditions that threaten safety and disrupt daily activities throughout Moses Lake and Grant County. Slippery surfaces cause accidents, injuries, and liability concerns for property owners. Tatum Lawn Care provides professional de-icing services to eliminate ice hazards and maintain safe access during winter weather.
Our experienced team applies effective ice removal treatments using professional equipment and proven techniques. We treat driveways, sidewalks, parking lots, and walkways to prevent ice formation and remove existing ice accumulation.
With over 40 years of winter maintenance experience in Moses Lake, we understand local weather patterns that create ice conditions. Our de-icing services protect people and property while reducing liability risks associated with hazardous winter surfaces.
Ice forms when temperatures fluctuate around freezing, creating thin layers that are nearly invisible but extremely dangerous. These conditions occur frequently in Moses Lake during winter months, especially during early morning and evening hours.
Black ice presents the greatest hazard because it appears transparent on pavement surfaces. Drivers and pedestrians cannot detect this ice until losing traction, making professional de-icing services essential for safety.
Repeated freeze-thaw cycles create thick ice accumulation that becomes increasingly difficult to remove. Professional de-icing treatment prevents initial ice formation and breaks down existing ice for safe removal.
Homeowners need reliable de-icing services to maintain safe access to their properties during winter weather. We treat driveways, walkways, steps, and porch areas where family members and visitors walk regularly.

Broadcast spreading provides even coverage across large areas like parking lots and driveways. This method ensures consistent ice melting without creating hazardous concentration spots or untreated areas.
Spot treatment focuses de-icing products on specific problem areas where ice accumulation is heaviest. This targeted approach maximizes effectiveness while minimizing product usage and environmental impact.
Pre-treatment applications prevent ice formation when weather forecasts predict freezing conditions. This proactive approach maintains safe surfaces instead of waiting for dangerous ice to develop.
Effective de-icing services begin with accurate weather forecasting and strategic timing. Our team monitors temperature trends, precipitation forecasts, and wind conditions that affect ice formation patterns.
Pre-treatment applications occur before ice develops, preventing dangerous conditions rather than reacting after hazards exist. This proactive approach provides better safety outcomes and often requires less product than remedial treatments.
Treatment timing considers daily temperature cycles that affect ice formation and melting. We apply de-icing products when they will be most effective based on predicted weather patterns.
Proper surface preparation enhances de-icing effectiveness and reduces product requirements. We remove snow accumulation before applying ice control products to ensure direct contact with pavement surfaces.
Drainage maintenance prevents water accumulation that creates ice formation. We identify and address drainage problems that contribute to recurring ice hazards on customer properties.
Surface repairs eliminate cracks and depressions where water collects and freezes repeatedly. These improvements reduce ongoing ice control needs and improve long-term safety conditions.
Professional de-icing services follow established safety protocols to protect applicators and property occupants during treatment operations. Our technicians use appropriate protective equipment and follow manufacturer guidelines for all products.
Safe storage and handling procedures prevent accidents and ensure product effectiveness. We maintain proper storage conditions and use equipment designed specifically for ice control applications.
Application safety includes traffic control measures during treatment of parking areas and roadways. We coordinate with property managers to minimize disruption while ensuring thorough ice control coverage.
Environmental stewardship guides our de-icing services to minimize impact on vegetation, water sources, and surrounding ecosystems. We select products and application rates that provide effective ice control while reducing environmental consequences.
Product selection considers proximity to landscaping, storm drains, and sensitive areas. We use environmentally preferred options when conditions allow and apply minimum effective amounts for ice control.
Runoff management prevents de-icing products from contaminating storm water systems or affecting nearby vegetation. We consider drainage patterns when applying treatments and recommend improvements when necessary.
