Why De-Icing Salt Can Be a Problem

Did you know that beneath the city of Detroit lies one of the largest salt mines in the world—spanning over 1,500 acres? 

With rock salt readily available, it’s no surprise that Michigan residents use it so often during the winter months.

The downside is that rock salt can harm grass and soil. When the snow melts, salty runoff seeps into your yard, drawing moisture out of the soil and causing patches of brown, damaged turf by spring. Over time, repeated exposure can make it harder for your lawn to bounce back to green once the weather warms up.
