what kind of salt to use for driveway ice
Using Mag Chloride or even rock salt as a driveway deicer or driveway ice melt will also kill the plants, grass, flowers etc around the driveway. These driveway ice melting products are all around not a good choice! Here at Table Mountain Creative Concrete, we say... let's not use any of these things. Obviously the best thing to do is get the now off of the driveway before it turns into ice. If it's already ice then the best methods we suggest is to use is play sand or bird seed! Play sand will provide the best slip resistance you can get for the money. It can be swept off of the driveway in the spring and will work its way into the soil. However, bags of play sand can be heavy so if that's not an option then we suggest using bird seed! Throw some bird seed out on the ice which will create some slip resistance.
