Snow Removal Tips for a Country Home
When you own a home in the country in a region where winters can bring snow and ice, you definitely have your work cut out for you when it comes to snow removal. Many country homes have longer driveways, more sidewalks and large porches. Here are some tips to help keep the snow and ice away.
Hire a professional. We know many people who work long days and the last thing you want to do is spend hours clearing your driveway and sidewalks. Hiring a professional saves you the hassle, but it will cost you.
Attach a plow to truck or snowmobile. This is one of the most common ways to easily, and quickly, remove snow from a driveway and country road. For the farmers, you can easily attached a blow to a tractor as well.
Invest in a snow blower. If you want a little exercise, using a traditional snow blower works like a charm. It just may take some time to manually clean a long driveway. You can also attach a snow blower to an ATV or tractor to make it a little easier.
Plan ahead. Snow and ice removal are a lot easier if you actively prepare for winter weather ahead of time. For example, put ice melt (salt) down the night before a winter storm and have your equipment ready to go. It’s even helpful after you shovel to keep the ice from melting and re-freezing.
