Besides renovating every spring, is there any pre-treatment that can be applied in the fall ?

Try using Gypsum at recommended rates or slightly higher. You can find Gypsum in granular forms (which are much easier to apply) but the powdered form will work just as well. Gypsum is comprised of Calcium Sulfate and when you water it into the soil, the calcium will displace the sodium found in salt. Make sure you apply adequate amounts of water to move the salt out of the root zone of those plants you're trying to save.
Good Luck!

I've yet to find this answer! The only thing I can think of is to start really early! As soon as snow is gone, I'm raking the yard that is most affected by the salt. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Salt is corrosive and unsafe to flora. In previous situations after a city/city advance into ransacked they might "salt the earth" in certainty unload salt on the grounds to verify that they could no longer advance vegetation there anymore. As for the fish, nicely salt is likewise a preservative. whilst the fish advance into coated in salt micro organism could no longer advance on it consequently permitting it to final longer until now it spoiled.
