Preparing Your Property for Winter

Mark Obstacles

Place reflective stakes or markers along driveways, near landscaping features, and at property edges. This helps our operators avoid obstacles buried under snow.

Clear the Area

Remove vehicles, toys, decorations, and other items from areas to be plowed. This allows us to clear the entire space efficiently and prevents damage to your belongings.

Communicate Changes

If you have special requests, guests expected, or temporary obstacles, please let us know in advance so we can adjust our service accordingly.
