Is your service safe for pets and landscaping?
Quick answer: Yes. We use Monster Green Ice Melter, which is approximately 84% less corrosive than standard rock salt — gentler on pets' paws, less harmful to plants, and easier on concrete and interlock. No ice melter is 100% risk-free, but this is among the safest commercial options available.
Why Green Ice Melter
Pet-safer: reduced irritation on paws compared to rock salt.
Plant-friendly: less harmful to lawns, garden beds, and shrubs when runoff reaches them.
Surface-protecting: less corrosive to concrete, interlock, stone, and exposed metal.
Effective at lower temperatures than traditional rock salt.
Best practices around pets and landscaping
Rinse pets' paws after walks on freshly treated surfaces during heavy ice events.
If you have sensitive garden beds close to driveways or walkways, let us know at scope time — we can flag them for crews.
