Natural Deicers for Brick Paths That Protect Mortar and Concrete
When winter brings ice and snow, keeping your brick paths safe without damaging mortar or concrete is essential. Traditional rock salts can be harsh and corrosive, but natural alternatives offer effective ice melting while being gentler on your surfaces and the environment. Here are two all-natural deicers designed to melt ice quickly and safely on brick walkways, driveways, and more.
Ice Slicer Nature’s Blend 25 lb Bag
Redmond’s Ice Slicer Nature’s Blend is a certified organic deicer crafted from nature’s own minerals. It contains over 60 trace minerals that accelerate ice melting at a rate 3.5 times faster than traditional rock salt. This means you can use less product to achieve the same or better results, reducing potential damage to your brick paths and mortar.
- Safe for kids, pets, and plants: Free from harmful liquid chloride additives and dyes, it minimizes environmental impact and surface corrosion.
- Effective to 0°F: Works reliably in typical winter conditions.
- Natural reddish color and grit: Easy to see during application and enhances traction on slippery surfaces.
- Easy to apply: The gritty texture helps it stay in place on inclined or uneven brick surfaces.
This 25 lb bag is ideal for homeowners who want a long-lasting supply of a natural, high-performance deicer that protects their outdoor masonry.
Ice Slicer Nature’s Blend 10 lb Pouch
For smaller areas or occasional use, the 10 lb pouch offers the same trusted formula as the larger bag. It delivers the same fast melting power and safety benefits, making it perfect for brick paths, walkways, and steps where you want to avoid harsh chemicals.
- Certified organic and all-natural: Safe around children, pets, and plants.
- Contains over 60 trace minerals: Enhances melting speed and reduces the amount needed.
- Natural reddish hue and grit: Improves visibility and traction.
- Effective up to 0°F: Suitable for most winter conditions.
This smaller pouch is convenient for storage and easy to handle, making it a practical choice for maintaining safe, ice-free brick surfaces without risking mortar damage.
Both sizes of Ice Slicer Nature’s Blend provide a natural, effective solution for melting ice on brick paths while preserving the integrity of mortar and concrete. Their organic certification and absence of harsh additives make them a responsible choice for winter safety.
Why Choose Natural Deicers for Brick Paths?
Brick and mortar are porous and can be sensitive to harsh chemicals commonly found in traditional deicers. Using a natural product like Ice Slicer Nature’s Blend helps:
- Prevent surface degradation: Avoids the corrosive effects that can weaken mortar joints.
- Protect surrounding plants and pets: Organic ingredients reduce environmental harm.
- Enhance safety: The gritty texture improves footing on icy surfaces.
- Reduce usage: Faster melting means less product is needed, lowering overall impact.
Summary
For natural, effective ice melting on brick paths that won’t harm mortar or concrete, Redmond’s Ice Slicer Nature’s Blend in either 25 lb or 10 lb sizes offers a certified organic, mineral-rich formula. It melts ice quickly, enhances traction, and is safer for your family and landscape.
