As we all know, using rock salt to melt snow and ice fast is a great tool. However, when it’s over-applied, that cuts into any snow contractor’s bulk rock reserves. That wasted product impacts inventory costs and could prevent their operator from dusting a section of their route. The other concern is will the overspreading affect the client’s property, lawn, trees, or plants? To prevent any embarrassment, here are five tips we recommend before spreading rock salt.

1. Remove snow as often as possible and early
2. Remove ice to reduce using more deicer
3. After snow and ice are removed, use salt minimally
4. As temperatures go up, quickly remove any slush
5. If any assistance is needed, contact Same Day Salt for help
