When should I call a company about snow removal?

• <div><p>The best time to<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hiring-snow-removal-what-know.htm"> hire a snow removal professional</a> is long before snow falls in your area. Signing up for a seasonal contract not only provides peace of mind that your property will be cleared every time it snows, but it’s also often more affordable to sign a contract than paying for one-off services. If you prefer one-off shoveling services, you should contact your snow removal company the day before a storm is expected to schedule service. You can also call the morning of the snowfall, but this might result in delays.</p></div>

Q: Can I use cat litter or sand to melt the ice in my driveway?

• <div><p>Some commercial services use <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/sand-vs-salt-for-snow.htm">sand when clearing ice</a>, but that&rsquo;s to add instant traction, not to melt the ice. While you can scatter kitty litter, sand, or similar substances on steps, paths, or porches to improve safety during icy conditions, they won&rsquo;t help melt hardened ice. Rely on salt or other de-icing methods to fully melt away stubborn ice.</p></div>

Q: How do I remove snow without damaging my driveway?

• <div><p>The best snow removal tools include a snowblower or a plastic shovel since they're less likely to damage your driveway's surface. Metal shovels can crack asphalt and concrete. It's also a good idea to install driveway markers since they can make it much easier for you to identify where you should shovel without damaging the surrounding yard. </p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to pay for snow removal?

• <div><p>In most cases, it&rsquo;s worth it to pay for professional snow removal. You can shovel the snow yourself, but it&rsquo;s very labor-intensive and puts you at risk of injury or illness by performing exhausting manual labor in slippery conditions. Paying a professional removes that risk and saves you time and energy. Depending on your agreement, you could wake up to a cleared driveway and a car that&rsquo;s ready to drive rather than have to get up early to do the work yourself.</p></div>

Q: Can snow be too heavy for a snow blower?

• <div><p>Snow can be too heavy for a snow blower and cause clogs in the chute. However, having the correct type of blower for the snow conditions can reduce the chances of it being too heavy for it to handle. Another trick for preventing clogs is to make multiple passes while it snows rather than waiting for it to finish snowing. </p></div>

I had the privilege of having Martin come out and work on my flooring and wall. I had to remove some old ground heaters that I didnâ t use. Hard work from start to finish. I would recommend him to anyone.

This company specializes in tree service and stump removal. However, he is willing to do other jobs like concrete work and landscaping. Some of his best attributes are his quality of work, fair pricing, his punctuality, and the fact that he cleaned the area thoroughly when he completed the job.
