If it's not too cold (no colder than say -10 C / 15 F) you can use salt (road salt). This is effective because it will also help melt the ice. There are also chemical ice melters (in pellet form) available that work similarly to salt but are more expensive. Otherwise sand does a good job.
For example the city of Toronto uses a lot of road salt, but the city of Winnipeg, which is generall colder throughout the winter uses more sand.

Why do people use a lot salt when it snows?
salt makes the ice not slippery so you wont slip and fall on your butt. it also lowers the freezing/melting point of water. by lowering the freezing point, the ice will have to raise less degrees or the current temperature will be higher than the new freezing point so the water will just melt.
