Deicing
Professional de-icing and anti-icing services to melt existing ice and prevent ice formation. Safe, effective treatments for walkways and driveways.
Professional De-Icing and Anti-Icing Services
Ice on walkways and driveways creates dangerous slip-and-fall hazards. At Vita Green LLC, we apply de-icing materials to melt existing ice and anti-icing treatments to prevent ice formation. We use products that are effective at central Washington's typical winter temperatures while being safer for concrete, vegetation, and pets than standard rock salt.

Professional de-icing and anti-icing services:
- Reduce slip-and-fall hazards

Irrigation System Winterization
This critical service protects your irrigation investment from freeze damage. We use compressed air to blow out all water from pipes, valves, and sprinkler heads. Even small amounts of residual water can freeze and crack components, leading to expensive spring repairs. We recommend scheduling winterization in late October or early November, before the first hard freeze.
Spring Start-Up Services
When winter ends, we return to inspect your irrigation system, test all components, and adjust settings for the new growing season. We identify and repair any winter damage before it becomes a bigger problem.
