Last fall you probably heaved a big sigh of relief when you raked that last leaf into that last pile and bagged it up or put it in the mulch pile. You figured you were done caring for your lawn until next spring, right? Now that spring is here, you may notice some damage to your lawn as a result of the ice melt products you used last winter. Remember next winter, that just because it’s wintertime doesn’t mean you can’t protect your garden or lawn. In the colder months, heating systems are the best option to melt the ice and to protect your landscaping. Heating systems like heated driveways do more than just melt snow and ice from driveways and sidewalks. They also help preserve your landscaping while avoiding the use of harmful salt and chemicals.
The potential damage done to lawns and landscaping by salt spread over asphalt and sidewalks to melt the ice is notable. The sodium chloride burns the plants and gets absorbed by the plants’ root systems. This just means you’ll have damage to repair in the springtime — so easily avoided with the use of heating systems.
The solution isn’t to use alternate “ice-melt” products, which don’t work as effectively as outdoor heating systems. You see, these systems don’t use any harmful chemicals, and they melt the ice so effectively that you don’t have to do any of the work.
Heating Systems Tip: These heating systems are state of the art but easy to install for any contractor or do-it-yourself expert.
