Protecting Your Lawn from Salt Damage

Did you know that excess salt can cause long-term lawn damage?

Fortunately, there are a few simple ways to keep your grass healthy all winter long:

  • Apply salt carefully. Limit its use to paved areas only—sidewalks, driveways, and steps—and avoid spreading it near grassy edges.
  • Create a barrier. Install a short silt fence or temporary edging along your lawn to keep salty runoff from soaking into the soil.
  • Try alternatives. Materials like sand, kitty litter, or calcium magnesium acetate (CMA) can improve traction without harming your grass.
  • Schedule early spring lawn care. A professional fertilization and recovery plan can help restore soil balance and encourage new growth after a long, salty winter.
