A short winter prep checklist for your property. Nothing fancy, just the stuff that pays off when the cold arrives.
🚶 Walkways: clear them of leaves, toys, and anything a snow blower or shovel blade shouldn't meet. It makes snow removal faster and safer.
💧 Drainage: make sure gutters and downspouts direct water away from the house so melting snow and rain don't pool near the foundation.
🌿 Final mow height: many homeowners keep mowing into late fall, gradually lowering the deck a bit at the last cuts. Shorter (not scalped) grass can be less inviting to winter pests and easier to keep tidy.
