Wholesale rock salt, treated salt, mag, brine and pallets for Colorado Springs contractors, property managers, HOAs and public crews.
Colorado Springs averages about 32.5 inches of snow a season (NOAA 1991–2020 normal) and about 130 freeze-thaw days a year, among the highest of any large U.S. city in our count of NOAA data.
Hills, shaded north-facing drives and big temperature swings make refreeze the main headache. Treated salt that sticks where it lands, and brine down ahead of the storm, do the most good here.
Delivery covers the Springs and the I-25 corridor north toward Monument and Castle Rock. Pickup and storm-night loading are available too.
Every lot, sidewalk and loading dock you treat is somebody's walk to work, a delivery driver's path, a patient's ride to the clinic door. Ice control protects people first and property second. It's also how contractors and owners show they took reasonable care when a slip-and-fall claim shows up months later.
Ice on walks, steps and entrances is where falls happen. Getting material down before the freeze and keeping it working through the storm is the whole job.
A documented, timely application program is one of the strongest positions a contractor or property owner can be in when a claim is filed. Colored treated salt helps: you can see it was applied, and so can a photo.
The right material at the right rate protects concrete, landscaping, vehicles and buildings. Over-applying wastes money and does damage. Under-applying leaves ice.

Plain sodium chloride by the ton. The workhorse for lots and roads above about 15°F.

Rock salt coated with liquid deicer and dye. Works colder, bounces less, and shows where it went.
More →
Anti-icing before the storm and pre-wetting at the spreader. By the gallon or tanker.

Bagged rock salt, ice melt blends, mag and calcium chloride and pet-safe melt, by the pallet or the bag.

Storms don't keep office hours. When a major event is forecast, loading hours stretch so contractors can refill spreaders and V-boxes at 2 a.m. instead of waiting until morning, when the lots are already glazed.
Seasonal contract customers get first place in line when supplies get tight. Ask about storm loading in your quote.
Monument, Castle Rock and Parker sit along the I-25 corridor between the Springs and Denver.
Yes. Bulk and treated salt can be delivered to Colorado Springs shops and sites. Your quote lists minimums and timing.
Treated salt bites faster and bounces less on grades. For the worst spots, add ice-control sand for traction.
