With the super cold weather we have been having in the below average temperatures some of the products to help us make our drive and walkways safe might not working properly and many of the drive and walkways are still icy and potential hazardous to our and others health.

Even when the deicing products work they in some cases could be doing harm to your walk and driveway. In some cases you might not be able to see the damage for several years.

An alternative to a deicer could be as simple as a bag of fine sand, like play sand or during harsher weather very small rocks. Sure you would have to sweep the drive after the thaw but it beats to have a cracked driveway fixed.
