In northern Utah removing snow and ice from walkways and other hardscapes often requires more than just skill with a shovel or snow blower. Chemicals are often used to clear away the ice that makes walkways and roads treacherous to navigate, but salts and other chemicals can damage vegetation, concrete and other hardscapes and cause water quality problems. Ideally, deicing products should be effective, economical and cause minimal damage. Take a look at various products and learn more about their effects (good and bad). 
Weddings, family gatherings, small events and meetings will have extra beauty and character when held at various locations across the USU Botanical Gardens! Staff members are eager to work out the details of your event with affordable pricing and multiple options.
