Calcium Chloride Home : Frequently Asked Questions : General Questions

Is calcium chloride safe for use around grassy areas and other vegetation?

Under typical application conditions, calcium chloride will not damage grass or vegetation adjacent to a surface being deiced. As with fertilizer and any other deicer, it is possible for grass to be damaged if the chloride based deicer is over-applied or large quantities are directly applied to the grass or vegetation.
