Don’t use salt on Brick Patios

While many people use salt to de-ice the ground during snowy seasons, using it on pavers is a bad idea. Salt has a corrosive effect that can damage stones. On top of that, when mixed with water, salt can seep down into the pavers and refreeze. As temperatures drop, the mixture will expand, causing flaking, discoloration and other problems. Be smart about what other products you use, as many de-icing agents have salt mixed in.
