Snow Removing Essentials Part 2
Winter is approaching fast, and it is better to welcome it prepared. Snow can either be a menace, or something you enjoy (if you are a kid of course…), but you will have to deal with it no matter what. We have covered some basics, such as shovels, salt and proper clothing, but now we are going to talk about few extras that might come in handy during the cold months.
Snow blower
This device looks similarly to a lawn mower. You are supposed to push this motor powered tool. As it goes, it “eats” the snow in front of it, blowing it far away on both sides. These devices can be quite powerful, and are able to blow the snow far away. They are ideal for clearing your driveways, or sidewalk and pathways in front of the house.
Truck plow
If you already own a truck, getting a plow attachment is a great investment. You can use it to clear your driveway, but also the whole street. A great way to become the favorite neighbor, people will love you! You can even ask them, to share the expenses of both the plow attachment, and gas, and in return, you can clear the street throughout the whole winter. But of course, this is only an option if you have the time and good will to do this regularly.
If you, or your neighbours don’t have the time, or desire to fight the snow throughout the whole winter, call Duluth landscapers. Professionals have all the right tools to do the job properly, so you don’t have to think about it every day.
Roof rake
To avoid the risk of climbing ladders, or to make your job a bit easier while you are on them, get a roof rake. These have extremely long poles, and are perfect for clearing snow. Try to clear roofs regularly, to prevent ice dams to form. Try not to get the cheapest rake. Investing more money will not only get you a better quality tool- the more expensive models have wheels that will prevent any roof damage while you remove the snow.
Windshield scraper
If you can, keep your car inside the garage during the winter, it will thank you later. But if that is not possible, you will have to deal with removing ice every morning. Clearing snow from it is not a problem, you can do it with almost anything, but frozen windshield can be tricky. That is where windshield ice scrapers come in. This is an essential really, if you want to drive the car safely, and you should keep one in your car all the time. Windshield scrapers are inexpensive, so try to get the best model, preferably with a handle. This are not only more convenient, since the handle allows you to reach further and apply higher pressure, but are far more durable- cheap models break all the time.
