Is there some sort of seed I can use next to the road? They use salt

will do the same.


Around here many people build a triangular wall from slats of wood and
plastic. Not real pretty but saves the grass.



If you're looking for traditional turf grass, then tall fescue,
creeping fescue, and bermuda grass are among the most salt tolerant.
Blue grass is more adversely affected by salt.
I'm a big fan of tall fescue. In fact, I just scraped up the weeds and
planted tall fescue this morning. Ask me in the spring how it survived.

That would be interesting since tall fescue requires warmer soil temps than
rye or bluegrass to establish.
