The driveway can be melted by using a range of melting equipment. Which ice melt is best for your driveway is dependent upon a number of variables, such as the type of surface that you are using, the temperature, as well as amount of ice that is built up.
Kevin O’connor is then shown by mason Mark McCullough how to select the ideal ice melt for your pathways and driveways. Two main components for making surfaces more slippery in winter is packaged deicing salts (sand) and packaged deicing sals.
Kevin is shown the salt/sand combination de-icer. It’s Mark’s 3rd category. Mixes are usually a good alternative as you can lower the amount of salt that is present in the mix. It will also minimize harm to walkways and the environment, while still giving an Ice melting power and the ability to draw traction due to the Sand.

Mark says that salt can be usedin a variety of ways, however, it is not a necessity.
