"JK Company did an outstanding job managing and installing our new Patio including a built in Grill. Tino has a full understanding of the process and pitfalls to avoid. They went above and beyond with any challenges encountered. The crew was courteous and true craftmen. I highly recommend JK Company! Marc (Buffalo Grove, IL)"

"We hired this landscaping company to pressure wash our driveway, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the results. Over the years it had built up a lot of dirt, stains, and discoloration, and I didn’t realize how much it brought down the overall look of our home until they finished. The difference was night and day, the driveway looks almost brand new again. What stood out most was how professional and friendly the crew was. They showed up on time, explained what they were going to do, and took their time making sure everything was done right. You could tell they actually cared about the quality of their work, not just getting in and out quickly. They also made sure the surrounding areas were clean before they left, which I really appreciated."

Snow Removal questions, answered by experts

Magnesium chloride is a relatively gentle ice melt product and, if used correctly, should not cause much damage to your property. The most important thing is to be sure you apply it according to the manufacturer’s instructions and don’t use too much.

If a big freeze catches you by surprise and you don’t have any deicer to hand, you can reduce the chance of taking a tumble by laying gritty, anti-slip materials. Some natural, readily-available options that don’t melt ice but offer traction underfoot include sand, wood shavings, kitty litter, and fireplace ash.

In most cases, it’s worth it to pay for professional snow removal. You can shovel the snow yourself, but it’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’s ready to drive rather than have to get up early to do the work yourself.

There is no hard and fast rule about using a snowblower on a specific amount of inches, but most snow removal experts suggest using one on 2 or more inches of snow for best results. This will also depend on what type of surface you’re working on and whether the snow is dry or wet. 

Snowblowers come in three different sizes: first-, second-, and third-stage blowers. Each additional stage is larger with higher intakes, more powerful, and has more gear options.

A first-stage blower, also called a snow thrower, is usually best for snow 6 to 8 inches or below. Electric snow blowers are usually only available in this size. If you regularly get snow that’s well above six inches, consider a second-stage snow blower. If snowstorms dump 2 to 3 feet of snow repeatedly during winter, you need a third-stage snow blower to tackle it.
