Your driveway might be perfectly clear of ice this winter, but the shrubs and flowers growing alongside it could be paying the price. Every time you spread rock salt or another deicing product, some of those chemicals can eventually reach nearby landscaping. By spring, you may notice brown evergreen needles, damaged leaves, or plants that simply aren’t growing the way they should.
The problem is more common than many homeowners realize, especially in areas where winter storms require frequent deicing.
