What is the difference between rock salt and ice melt?

• <div><p>Both rock salt and ice melt are naturally occurring salts. Rock salt is sodium chloride, which is the same as table salt. Ice melt products can be made from a combination of salts like magnesium chloride and calcium chloride or can be those salts alone.</p><p>Rock salt comes in large crystals, so it helps provide traction on icy surfaces, whereas ice melt products need to be mixed with sand to provide traction. Ice melt products work at lower temperatures than rock salt, so they might be a better choice if you have a harsh winter climate.</p></div>

Q: How do you minimize the environmental impact of ice melt products?

• <div><p>Magnesium chloride is a relatively gentle ice melt product and, if used correctly, should not cause much damage to your property. The most important thing is to be sure you apply it according to the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions and don&rsquo;t use too much.</p></div>

Q: How much does a good snow blower cost?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-annual-snow-removal-contract-cost.htm">Purchasing a snow blower costs</a> <b>$100 to $2,300 on average</b>. It all depends on the make, model, and age of the machine you choose. You can also go the rental route if you only need your snow blower for a temporary period. Renting a snow blower costs an average of <b>$75 per day</b> from your local hardware store or rental facility. </p></div>

Q: What services are included in snow removal?

• <div><p>Services include plowing, shoveling, salting, and de-icing for parking lots, walkways, and entrances.</p></div>

Q: How can I save money on snow removal?

• <div><p>The best way to save money on snow removal is to sign up for a seasonal contract that guarantees service throughout the entire winter. Most companies charge between <b>$200 and $600</b> for this service, and they&rsquo;ll often give you a break on the price if you extend annually. Of course, savings will depend on your area. If you live in a moderate climate where snowfall may or may not occur, you could pay more than you need during a light snow year. Still, it&rsquo;s usually a safe bet to sign a seasonal contract.</p></div>

"They uprooted a few bushes for me, and they did a great job. I've seen this company has multiple few bad reviews, and I don't understand why. They did great, the price was reasonable, they showed up on time, and they had great communication. I think the bad reviews were more of the clients who weren't professional. Overall, they did great, and I'll see them in the spring."
