Some manufactures such as techo bloc warranty their product against salt damage. Others, well that is a different story.

I've seen pavers and wall block literally crumble apart due to salt use.

I do tell customers that they can use salt on techo bloc, but no others. I also say that I would prefer they use something else like calcium or other concrete safe products if they must, but don't want them to risk a accident in the fear of destroying their walkway.

Its funny, but at the same seminar I went to a few years ago techo was saying in the same sentence that its products were safe to use salt on AND that they DO NOT have a efforvescence problem........guess what, I've seen my share of white pavers from them, so take everything with a 'grain of salt'......lol.
