The everyday melter

Rock salt is the lowest-cost way to melt ice on lots and drives. It works best when pavement is above about 15°F. Below that it slows way down, which is when treated salt or liquid helps.

Sold by the ton for pickup or delivery, and as 50 lb bags by the pallet.

Storage, or not

Salt left uncovered clumps and runs off. If you don't have a barn, take smaller, more frequent deliveries, keep piles on a pad under a tarp, and use storm-night loading for top-offs.

  • Fast delivery. Bulk dropped at your site, sized to your season, so you don't need a salt barn.
  • Storm-night loading. Extended loading hours when a big event hits.
  • Storm-priority list. Get in line for resupply before the storm, not during it.
  • See it first. Ask for a yard visit and see the treated salt in person.
  • Fall pre-buy and seasonal contracts. Lock in tons before the first flake.
