Repair Damaged Curbs and Walkways <\/b><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

High-traffic walkways take a lot of abuse. \u00a0They expand and contract from freezing and thawing. They also wear down over time from use and unaddressed damage. \u00a0When these damaged areas are covered in snow they become tripping spots for people walking. \u00a0To prevent damage, make sure cracks are kept clean of weeds and leaves. Some hardscape surfaces will require yearly sealing for added protection and lifespan. If you do have damaged areas, make sure to repair them before the snow comes. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Night Lighting to Reduce Winter Slips<\/b><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

A lot of people fall, trip, and slip in poorly lit areas, even when the walkways are maintained. Therefore, a property that is properly lit at night not only reduces possible injuries but it reduces criminal danger as well. Light all walkways with good lighting and insure safe passage through your property. A good landscaping company can help you with the best night time lighting design for your unique property. <\/span><\/p>\n

Fall and winter is the perfect time to trim and prune plants. For instance, overgrown bushes and trees can easily obstruct views and lead to accidents.
