Michigan winters can be brutal! The last thing any of us want during winter is an icy, slippery front walk or driveway—it’s an accident waiting to happen.
How can you make sure you’re keeping your walkways safe while also protecting your lawn and your plants?
De-icing products won’t hurt your grass or plants if they’re used in limited quantities and carefully applied. However, every day we see excessive use of rock salt and ice-melt products combined with runoff from melted sleet and snow, which can result in saline runoff that contaminates fresh water, and dead or damaged landscapes (especially near roadways).
What can you use to keep icy sidewalks at bay?
- Coarse sand. Some communities in Michigan are already using this natural resource to keep icy roads clean. The irregular grains of sand are better at gripping icy surfaces and providing traction.
- Calcium magnesium acetate (CMA). This deicer has been used since the ‘70s and contains no damaging salts. It relies on the ingredients’ ability to stop snow an ice from bonding to each other and to paved surfaces.
