Parking Lot Sanding & Ice Control in Edmonton
Stop the slide. We provide automatic sanding and chemical ice management to keep your property safe and accessible during freeze-thaw cycles.
Ice is more expensive than snow
Snow is not always the biggest winter danger — ice is. In Edmonton, 90% of winter liability claims come from slip-and-fall accidents on icy surfaces, not deep snow. At Spartan Enhanced, we provide professional Ice Control Sanding Edmonton services to help keep your sidewalks, parking lots, and walkways safe during winter. Our team takes a proactive approach to ice control. Instead of waiting for dangerous ice to form, we monitor ground temperatures and apply sanding and traction materials before surfaces become slippery. We help residential and commercial property owners reduce accidents, improve safety, and keep their properties accessible all winter long.
Our Process
Step 1 : The Scrape
We never sand over loose snow. We plow first to expose the hard pack.
Step 2 : The Spread
Truck-mounted spreaders ensure even coverage curb-to curb, not just in the driving lanes.
Step 3 : The Monitor
We revisit sites during freeze-thaw cycles (when snow melts during the day and freezes at night) to re-apply as needed.
The Materials We Use
7mm Rock Chips
Best for parking lots. These small stones embed into the snowpack to provide immediate heavy-duty grip for vehicle tires.
Calcium Chloride
When temperatures drop below -15°C, salt stops working. We use liquid/pellet Calcium Chloride to melt ice even in extreme cold.
Pickled Sand
A strategic blend of sand and salt. The salt burns small holes in the ice, allowing the sand to lock in for long-lasting traction.
Why Property Managers Choose Spartan Network?
Most snow removal companies have a limited number of trucks and equipment. During heavy snowstorms or blizzards, they often get overwhelmed, which can lead to delays in service.
At Spartan Enhanced, we work differently. Our large network of local independent snow removal contractors allows us to respond faster, even during major snowfalls. If one crew is delayed, we can quickly dispatch another team to your property. This reliable backup system helps ensure your sidewalks, parking lots, and commercial spaces are cleared on time without unnecessary waiting.

FAQs
Commonly asked questions about Ice Control.
Do you use sand or gravel chips?
For parking lots, we prefer a 'Pickled Mix' of sand and 7mm chips. The chips provide tire traction, while the sand provides foot traction.
Will the gravel block my drains in the spring?
This is a common concern. As part of our Spring Cleanup packages, we offer power sweeping to collect and remove all winter gravel before it enters your catch basins.
Do you sand the whole lot or just the lanes?
We recommend full coverage for liability reasons. Leaving 'bald spots' in parking stalls creates a high risk for tenants stepping out of their cars.
What does Edmonton use on icy roads?
Edmonton uses sand and salt mixes to improve grip and reduce ice.
