Short answer
Bulk and bagged road salt for Long Island parking lots, roadways and walks. Typical application is 200–400 lbs of rock salt per acre of pavement per event. Pickup or delivery all winter.
Rock salt (sodium chloride) is the volume workhorse of ice control: cheapest per ton and effective down to roughly 15–20°F. Below that, blend or switch to calcium or magnesium chloride.
Order early. Every Long Island supplier tightens up after the first real storm, and pricing follows availability. Contractors who stage salt in October are the ones still working in February.

Frequently asked
- How much road salt per acre of parking lot?
- Plan 200–400 lbs of rock salt per acre per event. Light frost sits at the low end; refreeze and packed snow at the high end.
- At what temperature does road salt stop working?
- Effectiveness falls off sharply below about 20°F and is largely gone by 15°F. Switch to calcium or magnesium chloride for colder events.
