With rock salt being a form of sodium chloride, its chemical makeup effectively removes snow and ice on driveways, roadways, and bridges. However, when left and not cleaned up can create a toxic environment for plants and lawns. Once the rock salt dissolves, it will leak into the topsoil from the surrounding salted area. That drainage kills plant and lawn roots.

• Shoveling more snow limits the amount of rock salt needed to spread
• Place temporary barriers around the perimeter of the lawn to avoid oversalting
• Restrict the amount of rock salt used near the flower bed and lawn’s edges
• Use rock salt alternatives such as calcium or magnesium chlorides
