Snow removal is a big deal and needs to be perfect. Weather is extremely unpredictable and unremoved snow can lead to huge accidents. While it is extremely advisable to hire a snow removal business, here are tips if you want to do it yourself.
- If a winter storm is happening, it is best to stay in until it is over.
- During a lot of snow, it is best to use the snow shovel. Remember, the snow shoveling is an exercise and you should not overexert yourself. If there is less snow, opt to use the snow blower. The better option is to hire a snow removal business.
- Remove a few inches of snow at a single time rather than removing large amounts.
- Using salt for snow removal can lead to salt damage. Opt for other products to safely melt the ice. The salt will destroy the grass, plants, walkways along with the driveways. It is better to spend a few bucks on the ice melting products rather than opting for other costly repairs.
- While removing the soil, do not make the pathways on the lawn. The ice will damage the lawn or can permanently damage it.
- Using salts hurts the paws of your pet cats and dogs. Opt for pet friendly products.
- Remember to wax your shovel. A waxed shovel will make the blade slippery and the snow will not stick to it. Don't take the was literally. You can use car wax, floor wax and other types of waxes but it is Pam spray that will work perfectly.
- Keep an eye out for shrubs. Your plants are loaded with the snow and are under the burden of snow. Keep an eye out for them. Brush the snow gently off the shrubs.
- Before starting to shovel the snow, make sure you have a plan ready. There is no point in shoveling the same thing twice.
