What Does Salt Wise Certification Mean for Madison Businesses?
It means Carrington Lawn & Landscape follows smart, eco-friendly salting practices that keep your property safe while protecting Wisconsin’s lakes and waterways.
Eco-Friendly Snow Removal in Madison, Wisconsin
When winter hits Wisconsin, keeping commercial properties safe and accessible is a top priority. But heavy salt use comes with a hidden cost. Excess salt runoff can harm local waterways, damage vegetation, and corrode infrastructure.
At Carrington Lawn & Landscape, we believe safety and sustainability can go hand in hand. That’s why we’ve earned our Salt Wise Certification, a mark of excellence in environmentally responsible snow and ice management.
What Is Salt Wise Certification?
The Wisconsin Salt Wise Initiative
The Wisconsin Salt Wise program is a statewide initiative focused on reducing salt pollution while maintaining winter safety standards.
How Carrington Lawn & Landscape Became Salt Wise Certified
Earning certification means our team has completed comprehensive training in smart salting practices, learning to manage ice efficiently while minimizing environmental impact.
Certified professionals apply only what’s needed—nothing more—using smart, data-driven strategies such as pavement temperature monitoring, pre-treatment applications, and calibrated spreading equipment. The result is safer walkways and parking lots, cleaner waterways, and less wasted material.
At Carrington Lawn & Landscape, we’re proud to be among a select group of snow removal companies committed to protecting both people and the planet through certified sustainable practices.
The Benefits of Salt Wise Practices for Dane County Businesses
1. Reduced Salt Use Protects Local Waterways and Landscapes
On average, one teaspoon of salt permanently pollutes five gallons of water. By implementing Salt Wise strategies, Carrington Lawn & Landscape reduces our salt usage by up to 70% compared to traditional methods. This not only protects local lakes and streams but also helps preserve soil quality and plant health on and around your property.
2. Smart Salting Improves Safety and Lowers Long-Term Costs
Smart salting doesn’t mean sacrificing performance. Our calibrated application equipment and real-time weather monitoring help us target trouble spots precisely, preventing ice buildup before it starts. Fewer applications mean less material, less runoff, and lower long-term costs—without compromising safety.
3. Corrosion-Resistant Brine Extends Pavement and Equipment Life
Salt corrosion is a leading cause of pavement deterioration and vehicle damage during Wisconsin winters. By using liquid brine solutions and corrosion inhibitors, Carrington Lawn & Landscape protects your surfaces and infrastructure from unnecessary wear, saving you from costly repairs down the road.
