Stateline Yard & Garden--Plant Damage and Deicing Salts
Trees, shrubs, lawns, and other landscape plantings can be damaged by deicing salts accumulating in the soil, either deposited directly from plowing or through runoff as snow melts in spring. Salt damage depends on a variety of factors, including type and amount of salt, timing of application and species of plants.

Preventing Winter Lawn Problems
Last winter was a rough one for lawns, as evidenced by lots of damaged lawns last spring. While the type of winter weather cannot be controlled, there are a few things to help prevent lawn damage this coming winter.

Preparing Lawns for Winter
With all the activities associated with fall and season-end chores to do, gardeners tend to neglect the lawn. Avoid shoveling or plowing snow containing high levels of deicing salts onto turf areas, as high levels of salt will lead to turf damage next spring.

Stateline Yard & Garden-Lawns and Winter Problems
Shade trees are bare, skies are mostly cloudy, and the lawn is usually a combination of brown and sick green. As conditions cool down in fall, some grasses go dormant faster than others, leading to multicolored lawns.

Consider Landscape Plantings When Using Deicing Salts
Deicing salts are part of the snow removal process, but keep in mind they can also damage landscape plantings. Plant damage typically occurs within 30 feet of the roadway or parking lot where salts are used.
