Happy Halloween, Fort McMurray! 🎃

Before trick-or-treaters start making their rounds, take a quick walk from the sidewalk to your front door.

Look for loose snow, packed buildup, slippery steps and shaded areas where ice may be harder to see once it gets dark. Clearing the snow, scraping down the buildup and adding traction where needed can make the trip to the candy bowl easier for children, parents and neighbours.

Have a safe and happy Halloween from everyone at McMurray Landscape Center!

How does calcium chip improve traction on packed snow and ice?

The calcium treatment helps melt small pockets in the frozen surface, allowing the stone chips to settle in. The stone remains exposed, creating a rougher surface for boots and tires to grip.

It’s a practical option when traction is the priority on walkways, driveways, parking areas and work sites.

Choose the amount that fits the job:

• Small bags for steps, walkways and spot treatment
• Big bags for driveways and larger properties
• Bulk by the ton for parking areas, job sites and ongoing winter maintenance

Calcium chip is available at McMurray Landscape Center for delivery or pick up.

Fort McMurray winter is here...
..and two 50 lb ice-melter options are now in stock at McMurray Landscape Center.

STEALTH BLUE — $18.99
Enhanced with CMA and calcium chloride for fast action in lower temperatures. Its blue coating makes it easier to see where the product has been applied, helping you spread it more evenly.

LAVAMELT — $21.99
A fast-acting calcium chloride formula that generates heat on contact and works in extreme cold down to -34°C. Its orange coating provides visible coverage, while added dolomite helps improve traction.

Both products are available in 50 lb bags for residential, commercial and property-maintenance use.

Stop in and pick up the option that fits your property before the next round of ice.

A shovel and an ice scraper are not interchangeable.

The shovel moves loose snow. The scraper is for bonded or packed buildup that the shovel blade rides over.

Using the shovel first exposes the harder layer; using the scraper only where needed avoids turning the whole job into heavy chipping.

Snow shovels and ice scrapers have arrived at McMurray Landscape Center.

First snow doesn’t mean you missed your chance to protect the garden.

If your strawberries, bulbs, and suitable perennials are dormant and the soil has begun to freeze, gently move aside any snow and apply loose straw directly over the plants and soil.

The straw helps keep soil temperatures more consistent through winter, reducing the repeated freezing and thawing that can expose shallow roots and crowns.

Garden straw bales are available at McMurray Landscape Center for $24.99 each.

Visit us in store or call to reserve yours. Online ordering is also available. Quantities are limited.

Our first winter products have started arriving, including:

• Snow shovels
• Ice scrapers
• Ice melters
• Calcium Chip

Once snow covers a property, the edge between a driveway, lawn, planting bed and low landscape feature can disappear.

Marking key corners and curves before the first lasting snow makes later shovelling and snow clearing more precise.

It can also keep drainage points and catch basins from being forgotten under a snowbank.

Focus on the places that are difficult to ee from the machine or shovel position, not every straight edge on the property.

We hope this tip helps you this season!
