Hallo Leute, hope you all enjoyed the snow.
I have got a question regarding pavement snow removal. This morning, I removed the snow on the pavement next to my house (blue box in the photo), it was quite okay initially. I basically did it at the same time as my neighbor.
But you see now my pavement is accumulating snow but not my neighbors' (red boxes in the photo).
I'm wondering if you have any suggestions in this little competition for me to match my neighbors' results?
P.S.,
I cleaned it using a broomstick, but my neighbor was using a snow shovel. It was mostly the same results after the exercise but somehow the differences is huge now. I can't believe it is just because of this. But maybe?

You also need salt
They probably used road salt or an alternative.
Your neighbor used salt, which might not be allowed, depending on where in Germany this is.
They probably used salt. Please note that the use of salt is very often not allowed. You’d have to check your towns Straßenreinigungssatzung to be sure.
They used salt which could be illegal or legal. Depends on where you live. You’ll only get the same result if you spray salt.
You could check if there are Streugutausgabestellen (mostly grey Boxes with orange lits on a street corner, often placed near post boxes) around you. We have one a few streets away for the residents. There you can pick a few Kilos of Sand mixed with salt. Or you could sprinkle some sand/ ash/ gravel. That will not clear the snow but avoid people slipping.
