Snow and ice, while beautiful, can wreak havoc on outdoor living areas if you're not prepared. Here are 5 quick tips to get your space ready:
1. Clear and Clean Surfaces
Remove debris and dirt from decks, patios, and porches to prevent moisture buildup and ice formation.
2. Protect Furniture
Store outdoor furniture or use waterproof covers to shield it from snow, wind, and freezing rain.
3. Seal and Inspect
Apply a sealant to wood or composite decks and inspect for cracks in hardscape areas to avoid freeze-thaw damage.
4. Prepare for Snow-Removal
Stock up on non metal shovels and use de-icing products safe for wood and stone surfaces (and the environment!).
5. Drain Water Features
Empty fountain and other water features, and prep pools to prevent freezing and cracks.
Taking these steps will protect your outdoor spaces and ensure they're ready to shine come spring!
