Property Maintenance in The Winter

While you may not be spending much of your time outdoors while the weather is cold, you’ll want to take some time and think about how you can protect your property so it’s ready for you when the warmer weather returns! We’re here to help ensure your landscape is ready to handle all that winter has to offer.

To keep your property in tip-top shape all winter long, take a look at these tips to ensure it’s safe and ready for when the warmer weather returns:

Snow Removal

Whether you handle the task yourself or hire a professional, it’s essential to make sure snow doesn’t build up and sit on your driveway or pathways. Otherwise, water can seep through the pavement or stones and then freeze, causing cracks and costly damage. Snow around your home will eventually turn to ice in freezing temperatures, leading to dangerous and slippery conditions for you and your vehicles. 

Lawn Care

Luckily your lawn doesn’t require as much care as it does during the warmer months, but you don’t want to ignore it during winter completely. Ensure any leaves or debris are cleared up before snow falls to prevent suffocation and extra moisture from matting down and hurting the grass. Spend this time also to gather a plan on caring for your lawn once spring arrives so it can be healthy and beautiful as soon as possible.

Protect Your Outdoor Water System

Turn off your outdoor water system from the valve inside your home. Then, go outside and let any hoses or faucets run until they trickle to a stop to prevent any water from sitting and freezing. You may also want to consider insulating and covering faucets and pipes outdoors to protect them from damage due to the weather.

Watch Your Pool

It’s important to keep a close eye on your covered pool during the winter months. Keep a lookout for any debris that may have landed on the cover and remove it to prevent damage. You’ll also want to regularly check the equipment and filters to prevent contaminants from entering the water. Another aspect to be cautious of is the equipment freezing and causing damage, so check periodically.

Protect Outdoor Furniture

Safely cover all of your outdoor furniture and equipment to prevent damage from debris, ice, and snow, so they are ready to be used again when spring arrives.
