Can I safely use salt to prevent ice buildup on my concrete and masonry stairs?
There are many types of ice melts available, and all of them tend to damage concrete and masonry. Although no one likes it tracked into their house, the best alternative for the life of your masonry is plain old sand. Keep in mind that Parker Masonry can always come repair your salt damaged stairs, but it might take a team of doctors to fix grandma’s back when she slips down your steps. Safety is no accident!
