Snow Joe Premium Enviro Blend Ice Melt, Green-Coated Deicer Crystals - Safer Melter for Vegetation, Concrete & Metals w/Anti-Corrosion Calcium Magnesium Acetate - 25 lb

The Snow Joe Enviro Blend Ice Melt has worked really well for us this winter. It melts ice quickly, even on colder days, and I like that it’s designed to be safer for concrete, metal, and vegetation. That’s a big plus when you’re using it around walkways, driveways, and areas with plants. The green‑coated crystals make it easy to see where you’ve already spread it, and the 50‑lb bag lasts a long time. It also doesn’t leave behind the heavy residue that some other ice melts do. Overall, it’s a reliable, effective deicer that gives good results without being harsh on surfaces or the environment.

A friend who works in the snow removal industry (plows, shovels, de-icing for commercial properties) recommended this product to me as it was the closest I could get without a commercial contract where this type of product is delivered by the truckfull. I am familiar with rock salt and the use of kitty litter, both of which have negative effects on areas surrounding sidewalks (plants, grass, etc.) This product says it does not harm surrounding vegetation and it doesn't. It performs better than rock salt and actually melts ice rather than act an aggregate like kitty litter. Even better, once down and the ice is gone, it somewhat "protects" the sidewalk if more snow, sleet or ice follows. The other thing thing that is great is the lack of corrosion on metals. I shovel the sidewalk of a neighbor who is in a wheelchair and has a long aluminum ramp. This product keeps the ice off of the ramp and does not corrode the aluminum. It also does not affect my wrought iron railings. The amount used is not great. I would suspect that it is less than rock salt or kitty litter, so the application per weather event is less, which makes a difference when comparing costs between de-icing methods. All in all, this is a really good product, even though you kind of hope you never need to use it. Who wants to deal with ice or sleet on driveways, ramps, sidewalks and steps? But if you have to deal with it, this is a winner of a product.

We didn’t get much snow this year so we only got to use it 3 times, but it did function well. When pretreating the driveway it did a good job reducing the ice.

The Snow Joe Eco Melt Premium Pet-Safe Ice Melt really does a great job on icy sidewalks and driveways. It works quickly even in colder temps (down to -25 °F) and I appreciate that it’s pet-safe, concrete-safe, and low-tracking — so there’s less mess and I don’t worry about my pups’ paws. I also like that the added liquid heat helps it start working fast, which is noticeable compared to traditional rock salt. The reasons I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 are that it’s a bit pricier than basic ice melt and the granules can clump a little if stored in a damp garage. Still, in terms of performance and peace of mind for pets and surfaces, it’s definitely worth it. Would recommend for anyone who wants strong ice melt that’s safer than regular salt!

After trying at least 5 different salt ice melts i finally found one that works great! The price is great! It was easy to use as i just filled a bucket and sprinkle it on the stairs and driveway. Having the green color it was easy to tell where i had put it and still needed it. It works fast and and helps keeps the ice from forming. I will def keep buying this product and i definitely recommend if you need a fast acting ive melt for an awesome price!

2nd time buying — green salt, it works great. It’s probably a little more money than other brands, but I know it works, it’s pins per safe, and as much as I’d like it to last longer, a lot does depend on how much snow and ice we get. But it does last a long time once it’s spread on the sidewalk and driveway, and it starts working immediately, so for me, it’s worth the price. I’d rather spend a little more as I know my chances of slipping/sliding/falling are lessened.

I used this ice melt on my driveway after a heavy snowfall, and it did a great job breaking down the ice quickly. I spread it over the tire tracks and slippery areas, and it started working almost right away. The ice softened and melted much faster than regular rock salt, which made the driveway a lot safer to walk and drive on. I also like that it doesn’t leave behind a thick residue once the snow and ice melt. The crystals are easy to spread and cover a good area without needing to use too much. After using it, I noticed less refreezing overnight compared to other products I’ve tried before. Overall, it’s very effective, reliable, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do during winter weather. I’ll definitely keep this on hand for future storms and would recommend it for driveways and walkways.

Decent product. Needs to be applied generously. We had a light ice storm. I had spread my back steps and walkway with this ice melt for preventive measures, but it seemed to work best throwing it down after ice/snow accumulated. Ice melted rapidly. My senior dog was able to go in and out without my worries of him slipping or burning his paws on the salt. It left behind a slight residue, which is to be expected and is easily cleaned with a damp broom.

I use it for additional extra weight in the back of my rwd cargo van. And it is better to have than sandbags. It’s a useful tool to help me get out of a bad situation in the snow or ice. It saved me from being stuck in the snow. I just put a liberal amount on front and behind the rear tires and waited 5-10 minutes and it worked like a charm.

This ice melter acts very quickly! After two days of freezing rain, the path was covered in a two-inch sheet of ice that formed on top of the snow. I scattered the crystals along the path and the ice started to crack as the ice melter worked its magic! Very pleased with this product. Most important feature, it is environmentally friendly and not harmful to pets and wild life such as squirrels and birds that visit the area.

Very good Would buy again

Really works well. Melts snow as said.

Works as expected and give good traction compare to normal Salt
