What's the Biggest Question in Snow and Ice Management?

How soon can we be there? 

We will let you choose our response time for your facility, subdivision, or commercial property. We offer Priority 1 and Priority 2 service levels to fit your specific needs. We know we cannot be everywhere first; most importantly, we will not tell you we can. Choose the option that fits your needs best! Our snow service books up fast, and we do not do call-in work in inclement weather

We also offer flat-rate pricing for snow plowing, so you know exactly what you are paying for our service. Be careful utilizing a contractor charging by the hour. What incentive do they have to complete your facility on time? Although their hourly rate may appear to be lower, what size equipment will they be using, and maybe more importantly, how much training does the operator have? You may encounter only a few unknowns with a contractor providing a by-the-hour cost approach.


Most people like knowing what something will cost before deciding to purchase it. A snow and ice management contractor should be the same. We will schedule an appointment, examine your facility or subdivision with you, and develop a plan for inclement weather to fit your needs.

At WLS, we offer both LIQUID and granular ice melter applications. The advantage of liquid applications is that the product can be applied before inclement weather conditions. We use an eco-friendly product with a Designed for the Environment label from the EPA. Liquid & granular pretreat applications will assist in keeping the snow from bonding to the pavement, thus allowing the snow to be plowed off much more efficiently and requiring less product after snow plowing. This saves you money and keeps your property safer during inclement weather conditions.

We also offer you many options when it comes to granular ice melter. Rock salt (sodium chloride) is only sometimes the correct answer. We offer more than rock salt to help provide you with the best results during the storm. In addition to rock salt (sodium chloride), we offer magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, potassium chloride, and blended products to satisfy your snow and ice management needs based on the temperatures and conditions during the event.

Why is that important to you?

Rock Salt (sodium chloride) is only practical to approximately 18°F and is five times less effective at 20°F than at 30°. We can offer you a faster and more efficient melting capacity at colder temperatures by utilizing alternative ice melters. These products will also assist in reducing re-freeze issues. Utilizing magnesium and calcium chloride products can help maintain a safer environment. Although we cannot guarantee a clear property, using these more efficient ice-melting products will help reduce the risks associated with a slip-and-fall accident. Choose WLS, Inc., and let us put our 45 years of experience, knowledgeable operators, and award-winning service to work for you!
