Before Snowfall: Preparing Your Property
-
Mark Boundaries & Hazards – Use driveway markers or stakes to outline the driveway, sidewalks, and pathways to prevent damage to landscaping or hidden obstacles.
-
Clear Driveway & Walkways of Objects – Move items like planters, decorations, hoses, and toys inside to prevent obstructions.
-
Keep Vehicles Parked Wisely – If possible, park vehicles in the garage or on the street before snowfall to keep driveways and walkways clear, allowing for a thorough job.
-
Check for Drainage Issues – Ensure proper water drainage so melting snow doesn’t refreeze and create slippery surfaces.
During Snow Removal: Making It Efficient
Communicate Preferences – Let them know if you have specific requests, such as clearing a path to a shed, mailbox, or a designated area for piling snow.
Avoid Tossing More Snow Back – If you shovel after they remove it, avoid pushing snow back into cleared areas.
After Snow Removal: Maintenance & Safety
Apply Ice Melt – Prevent ice buildup by applying salt, sand, or another de-icing agent after snow is cleared, but avoid putting ice melt directly on the driveway as it can cause surface damage over time.
