About the only thing that seem to get hurt by the winter salt is the Angelina sedum and even some of it makes it and I just move some more from other parts of the yard to fill in. A couple times one of the plows had scapped off a few plants. The neighborhood is an older one with most of the houses from the 30s and40s and a few even older. I enjoy having the park across the street from me and have gotten to know a lot of the people who walk their dogs there.
