Best Ice Melt for Asphalt Driveway Safe for Vegetation and Concrete

When it comes to choosing the best ice melt for your asphalt driveway, especially one that is safe for surrounding vegetation and concrete surfaces, it’s essential to select a product that balances effective ice melting with environmental care. Traditional rock salts often contain harsh chemicals and additives that can damage concrete and harm plants. Fortunately, Redmond’s Ice Slicer Nature’s Blend offers a superior, natural alternative designed to protect your driveway, garden, and pets while efficiently melting ice and snow.

Why Choose Ice Slicer Nature’s Blend for Your Asphalt Driveway?

All-Natural and Certified Organic Formula

Redmond Ice Slicer Nature’s Blend is an all-natural deicer made from ancient sea salt harvested from a Jurassic Era mineral deposit. It contains over 60 naturally occurring trace minerals, making it a unique and eco-friendly choice. Unlike conventional ice melts, it contains no harmful liquid chloride additives or synthetic dyes, which are often responsible for damaging concrete and killing plants.

“Nature’s Blend is OMRI-listed organic and safe for kids, pets, and plants, making it an ideal choice for environmentally conscious homeowners.”

Fast and Efficient Ice Melting

This ice melt works 3.5 times faster than traditional rock salt and remains effective in temperatures as low as 0°F. Its high performance means you can use less product, reducing the risk of over-application that can harm concrete and vegetation.

Enhances Traction and Easy Application

The natural reddish color and coarse grit of Nature’s Blend not only make it easy to see where you’ve applied it but also improve traction on slippery surfaces, helping prevent slips and falls on your driveway and walkways.

Protecting Your Concrete and Vegetation

Reduced Corrosiveness Compared to Rock Salt

While all salt-based deicers have some corrosive effects, Nature’s Blend is up to 70% less corrosive than regular rock salt. This means it significantly reduces the damage to concrete surfaces over time, especially when used as directed.

Nourishes Soil and Supports Plant Growth

Unlike conventional ice melts that can leach harmful chemicals into the soil, Nature’s Blend’s mineral-rich composition actually nourishes the soil and supports plant health. The 60+ trace minerals help improve soil fertility, making it a safe choice for driveways bordered by gardens or lawns.

“The gardens at Temple Square in Salt Lake City switched to Nature’s Blend and saw no more dead grass or flowers from salt burn, along with longer-lasting ice melting power.”

Safe for Pets and Children

Because it contains no added chemicals or dyes, Nature’s Blend is safer for pets and children. However, as with any salt product, rinsing off paws and skin after exposure is recommended to prevent dryness or irritation.

How to Use Ice Slicer Nature’s Blend Safely and Effectively

1. Apply Lightly Before Snowfall: Sprinkle a light layer before a storm to prevent ice from bonding to your driveway. 2. Reapply as Needed: After shoveling, apply a light handful every other stride to maintain traction and prevent refreezing. 3. Avoid Over-Application: Using more product does not speed up melting and can increase the risk of concrete damage. 4. Rinse Off Pets and Surfaces: After exposure, rinse pets’ paws and outdoor equipment to prevent irritation and corrosion.
