*Landscaping features (i.e. [[Swales|vegetated swales]] or [[Rain gardens|landscaped islands]]) can lead to a reduced requirement of salt application by reducing the amount of paved surface.

*Specifying deciduous [[Trees: List|trees]] along walkways and near snow piles will maximize winter sunlight penetration. This will naturally enhance the melting of frozen surfaces, limiting the need for winter maintenance.

*Coniferous [[Trees: List|trees]] can be used to create treed wind breaks along the site perimeter to avoid snow drifts.<ref>LSRCA. 2015.Parking Lot Design Guidelines to Promote Salt Reduction.
