Q: What can I use to make my driveway less slippery if I don’t have a deicer?

• <div><p>If a big freeze catches you by surprise and you don&rsquo;t have any deicer to hand, you can reduce the chance of taking a tumble by laying gritty, anti-slip materials. Some natural, readily-available options that don&rsquo;t melt ice but offer traction underfoot include sand, wood shavings, kitty litter, and fireplace ash.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to remove an ice dam?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/ice-dam-removal-cost.htm">Ice dam removal costs</a> anywhere from $650 to $2,000, with most people paying about $1,200 for this service. The price you pay will depend on a few factors, including the removal method. If your pro uses salt or tablets to get rid of the ice dams, you might only pay $200 to $300. But if they use steam, your costs could increase to $800 to $1,200. </p></div>

Q: How do I remove snow without damaging my driveway?

• <div><p>The best snow removal tools include a snowblower or a plastic shovel since they're less likely to damage your driveway's surface. Metal shovels can crack asphalt and concrete. It's also a good idea to install driveway markers since they can make it much easier for you to identify where you should shovel without damaging the surrounding yard. </p></div>

Q: 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: At what temperature does salt stop melting ice?

• <div><p>When temperatures drop far enough, even rock salt can&rsquo;t melt the ice. The briny solution freezes before it develops, and the salt doesn&rsquo;t work, which happens around <b>10 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep in mind that </b>wind chill and other factors impact ice-melting progress. Some ice melters, like magnesium chloride, work at colder temperatures and work better for deep winter freezes.</p></div>

He removed the trees, then he was supposed to remove the stumps. He took his money then never finished. Even after many phone calls to him he never called back. His son and wife would answer the phone, they were threatening and rude. Totals scam artist!

I am using them for the second season. The price is a bit steep for a single woman. But, they do a nice job and are very reliable. They sometimes wait for more snow to fall so that they don't have to do two plows. But, I can usually get out in the morning for work regardless.
