Winter Property Preparation Tips
1. Schedule Service Before Winter Arrives
Don't wait for the first snowfall. Pre-arrange winter services to ensure priority response when weather strikes. Seasonal contracts provide peace of mind and guaranteed availability.
2. Install Snow Markers Early
Mark driveway edges, landscaping features, and buried utilities before the first snow to prevent damage during clearing operations. This protects your investment and speeds up snow removal.
3. Clear Drainage Areas
Ensure gutters, downspouts, and drainage areas are clear before winter. Blocked drainage can cause ice dams and water damage when snow melts.
4. Trim Overhanging Branches
Heavy snow can cause weak branches to break. Trim trees and shrubs before winter to prevent damage to property, vehicles, and pathways.
5. Stock Emergency Supplies
Keep basic supplies on hand: ice melt for spot treatment, a snow shovel for emergencies, and contact information for your winter service provider.
