With winter well on its way, it’s important to have a plan in order to remove snow as it comes. Snow can damage your property and cause safety issues if ignored. Follow these tips for easy snow removal.
Salt
Before the snow hits, treating your driveway and sidewalks with salt brine will prevent snow from sticking and accumulating, making the removal process much easier. Once snow hits, salt can also be used to assist with the melting process and will make it easier to clear.
Light Snow
When you get hit with just a few inches of snow, a simple broom is an effective tool to remove the snow from your driveway or walkways.
Cooking spray is another household item that will help you with snow removal. Coat your pusher or shovel with the spray and the snow will slide off easier, meaning less effort for you.
Removal Tools
Depending on how much snow you expect at your home or business each year, investing in a snow blower or another similar tool can be a great investment.
A snow pusher is slightly more expensive that a snow shovel, but will save you a lot of time and effort. Snow pushers are essentially manual-powered snow plows.
If you want a tool that makes removal a little easier still, a snow plow is a good option. They are pricier than snow pushers but may be worth the investment.
If you expect a lot of snow in your area or need something that will make the job as easy as possible, investing in an electric snow thrower will do just that. Electric models are not as expensive as the gas-powered models but are capable of removing a good amount of snow with minimal effort.
Call a Professional
If the snow on your property is too much for you to safely handle on your own, don’t hesitate to call a professional. Professional snow removal services will clear your property of snow and ice in no time.
