Applying heavy layers of sodium chloride will not make the snow or ice melt faster. A handful per square yard is all you need.

Remove as much snow and ice as possible before any deicers are applied. Rock salts and deicers work best when there is only a thin layer of ice or snow to melt.
Rock salts and deicers sell out early and fast. You’ve probably waited too long to buy your rock salt and deicers and were stuck watching ice and snow accumulate. Stock up now. You'll always use it.
If you want to protect shrubbery, plants and vegetation, check to see which of your plants and trees are salt sensitive. If they are not, any rock salt is fine. If they are, look for environmentally friendly products that have no chlorides. Be aware that urea products contain nitrogen, which is bad for the water supply, and they do not perform well below 20 F.
