Help Mother Nature out in her Plights Against Ice Melter and install a Radiant Heated Driveway Today.

It’s summer time, and we are all a little more aware of the environment as we engage in our summer outdoor activities. Nature has been pretty good to us this summer, and I think it’s high time we paid her back this winter. How you ask? By installing a radiant heated driveway. Yes, an unlikely answer, but it’s true! Radiant heated driveways eliminate the need for nasty ice melter that sucks the life out of the surrounding environment.

You may not realize it, but the ice melter you use all winter long is detrimental to the environment. Chloride-based ice melters release salts as they form brine solutions, and many plants are sensitive to these salts. When you shovel your snow, the salt from your driveway or stairs comes into direct contact with surrounding vegetation, resulting in slow growth, deformities, and/or susceptibility to disease. Additionally, salt can seep into the soil surrounding your driveway, which can draw moisture away from plant roots.
