Clear Ice Without Paying for It in Spring
You spend all summer keeping your lawn green and your landscaping healthy. Then winter comes, and the rock salt you spread on your walkways kills the grass along the edges, burns your shrubs and leaves your dog's paws sore.
Citywide Direct's Urea Blend Snow & Ice Melt offers a gentler way to stay safe. It melts ice faster than rock salt, works down to 0°F, and is safer for lawns, trees, shrubs and pets when used as directed. For most winter days across much of the US, it's all the ice melt you need.
Why Rock Salt Is Hard on Your Property
Rock salt (sodium chloride) is cheap and easy to find, which is why so many people reach for it. But the damage it leaves behind often costs more than the bag:
- It kills grass and plants. Salt runoff soaks into the soil and leaves brown, dead strips along driveways, sidewalks and curbs.
- It burns trees and shrubs. Salt spray and buildup damage roots and foliage near walkways.
- It irritates pet paws. Sharp crystals and salty residue hurt paws, and dogs often lick it off afterward.
- It damages concrete. Salt speeds up freeze-thaw cycles that cause pitting and flaking on driveways, steps and patios.
- It corrodes. Railings, gutters, equipment and vehicles rust faster.
If you're tired of reseeding the lawn and repairing walkways every spring, there's a better choice.
What Makes Urea Blend Different
Urea is a nitrogen-based compound, the same type of ingredient found in many lawn fertilizers. That's why it's so much easier on grass and plants than rock salt. It still melts ice and snow faster than rock salt, and it contains no rock salt at all.
Key features at a glance:
- Instantly melts ice, frost and snow
- Melts faster than rock salt
- Effective down to 0°F
- Contains no rock salt
- Safer for pets and plants when used as directed
- Safer for lawns, trees and shrubs when used as directed
- Reduces freezing damage to concrete

It's an ideal choice for homes with pets, landscaped properties, and anywhere winter temperatures usually stay above zero.
Who Should Use Urea Ice Melt
- Homeowners with pets: Keep walkways safe without the paw irritation that comes with rock salt.
- Homes with lawns and gardens: Protect the grass, flower beds and shrubs that line your driveway and sidewalks.
- Landscaped businesses and office parks: Keep entrances safe while protecting the curb appeal you pay to maintain.
- Property managers and HOAs: Treat shared walkways and common areas with a gentler product.
- Contractors and municipalities: Full pallets for parks, campuses and public spaces where landscaping matters.
How to Apply It
- Get ahead of the storm. Apply at the beginning of a snowfall if possible. This stops ice from bonding to the surface and makes shoveling easier.
- Spread evenly over the area you want to treat. A hand or push spreader gives the most even coverage.
- After snow builds up, apply 1 to 5 pounds per 250 square feet, depending on how thick the snow and ice are.
Tip: Spread only where you need it and sweep up leftover granules once the ice is gone. That keeps your lawn and landscaping in the best shape.
