Wholesale rock salt, custom treated and colored salt, liquid deicer and bagged ice melt for West Hartford contractors, property managers and public crews in Hartford County. Delivered so you don't need storage.
West Hartford has busy town-center retail, offices and big residential neighborhoods.
Main routes: I-84 and Route 4.
Town-center walks and retail lots are the slip-and-fall hot spots after a storm.
Central Connecticut winters bring real snow, coastal rain-to-snow flips and more freeze-thaw than almost anywhere in the Northeast. Line up supply before the first storm.
Our usual recommendation here: Rock salt for routine events, treated and colored salt for cold snaps and visible coverage, brine ahead of storms, and a dated record of when the storm ended and when you finished.
Plain sodium chloride by the ton. The workhorse for lots and roads above about 15°F.
More →
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.
More →
Bagged rock salt, ice melt blends, mag and calcium chloride and pet-safe melt, by the pallet or the bag.
More →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.

Bulk loads can be dropped at your shop, a customer site or a staging pad, sized to your space. Farther towns usually take fuller loads to keep freight down. Nearer towns can take smaller drops. Pallets ride along with bulk.
Prefer to haul your own? Pickup and storm-night loading are available. Either way, your quote spells out minimums and timing.
