Choose lawn seed mixes and sod containing salt-tolerant fine fescue grasses.
Salt-tolerant perennial flowers die back over winter making them good choices along driveways, walks, and streets. Replaced each year, annual flowers are also good options.
Do not plant evergreens along surfaces where de-icing salts are used and can kill needles.
Plant trees and shrubs at least 3 feet from driveways and walks where de-icing salts are applied.
Plant trees and shrubs a minimum of 7 feet from roadways where salt spray may occur from street maintenance.
