Traditional Rock Salt – Affordable, Effective, & Economical
Tackle ice without breaking the bank. While it is the most commonly purchased for regular winter weather, it can be harsh on concrete surfaces and vegetation. For areas like driveways, walkways, and parking lots, it’s important to apply it carefully to avoid damage to your property.

Prevents Accidents: Reduces the risk of slips and falls during the winter.
Protects Surfaces: Helps maintain your driveway, walkways, and decking without the damaging effects of salt.
Saves Time: Breaks down ice quickly, making removal faster and easier.
Pet Safety: Keeps your pets safe by using non-toxic, pet-friendly options for your home.
Apply Before Snow Accumulates: If you know that snow is coming, it’s often a good idea to apply ice melt preemptively. This can help prevent the snow from bonding to the surface, making it easier to remove.
Use the Right Amount: Too little ice melt can be ineffective, while too much can cause unnecessary damage to your surfaces. A 50 lb. bag typically covers about 1,000 sq. ft. under normal conditions. Make sure to follow the recommended guidelines on the packaging to ensure efficient usage.
Spread Evenly: Use a broadcast spreader for an even application. This helps ensure that the ice melt covers the entire surface of your outdoor property and works efficiently. Uneven spreading can result in areas being left untreated, leading to potential safety risks.
Shovel After Melting: Once the ice has melted, shovel away any remaining slush or snow to maintain safety and prevent refreezing. This ensures that your surfaces stay clear and safe for walking.

Rock salt is the most affordable option.
Calcium chloride melts ice the quickest.
Calcium Chloride does not react with cement so it is ideal for concrete surfaces.
Choose a pet-safe option for peace of mind.
Calcium chloride pellets (like Prestone Driveway Heat) melt ice faster and at lower temperatures than traditional rock salt.
Halite Ice Melt (rock salt) can be harsh on concrete and vegetation over time. For a safer option, consider Ice Burner Premium which is a magnesium-based blend with CMA.
Our Safe Pet Ultra Ice Melter and Safe Paw Ice Melt are formulated to be less irritating to paws and safer for animals and the environment.
Avoid using traditional rock salt on wooden surfaces—it can cause drying and cracking. A pet-safe or magnesium-based product is a better choice.
It depends on the size of the area and the severity of the ice. A 50 lb. bag covers about 1,000 sq. ft. under normal conditions. You can always call us at 908-359-5173 for assistance.
