Balanced Snow Management for Long-Lasting Concrete

Winter in Cleveland, TN can throw quite a curveball at concrete spaces like driveways, sidewalks, and patios. We're all about being prepared, so we wanted to highlight why it's smart to put away the salt when snow starts to fall.

You see, salt might seem like an easy fix for slippery surfaces, but it's tough on concrete. It triggers scaling, flakes, and pits, and new concrete takes the brunt. Combine this with freeze-thaw cycles, and you get cracks and surface damage faster than you'd expect.

What should you do instead? Shovel early and often, and use sand or kitty litter for traction. If a de-icer is a must, go for a concrete-safe product but use it sparingly.

Our team is passionate about helping you keep your concrete looking great for years to come. By avoiding common pitfalls and understanding how to best care for your surfaces, you'll save time and money down the road. Stay safe and warm, Cleveland!
