"I hired Down South Landscaping & Maintenance to do a "fall clean up" of my recently purchased property, which had not been properly maintained for a number of years. Michael Austin of Down South was one of the first to respond to my post on Angi. As requested, he promptly provided a detailed estimate for cleaning the yard and beds including, application of preemergent weed control. I also obtained and accepted Down South's remarkably reasonable estimate to trim all the bushes. Michael kept me informed about his schedule and arrived promptly on the morning we had targeted to begin the work. Michael worked side by side with his crew to complete the project within budget, and ahead of plan. More important, the quality of his work was outstanding. The lawn, beds, bushes, and previously untended "woods" look spectacular. I couldn't be happier--- so happy, that after receiving very reasonable written estimates, I have chosen Down South to handle my landscape maintenance including mowing, semi-annual clean-ups, gutters, and snow plowing as needed. ⁹"

"Andrew has a small but growing team of very hard working creative people. They offered cost effective solutions to trim some trees, build a hip wall and flagstone outdoor fire patio in my back yard. It was a complex project. They got it done beautifuly and I really love these guys. In fact I'm going to hire them for year round landscape maintenance if the they will do it."

Snow Removal FAQs, answered by experts

In most cases, it is best to leave icicles on your roof and allow them to melt naturally. You should only consider removing them if they are heavy enough to cause damage to your home or pose a risk to people below. Since removing icicles can be dangerous, it is recommended to hire a professional for the job if you have immediate concerns. To prevent the issue from recurring, you should address the underlying cause, such as improving your home's insulation or installing roof heating coils.

You can use hot water to melt ice from your driveway, but there are some serious caveats. Very hot water can quickly melt ice and remove it, which is helpful if you’re very short on time and need a solution ASAP. However, it will only work across a small area, after which there’s a chance the water will freeze again. The sudden clash of temperatures is dangerous for fragile materials, notably windows and other glass, so you’ll want to keep the water away from your car.

The fastest and most effective way to remove snow from a driveway is by using a powerful snow blower, such as a two- or three-stage model, which can clear the area in minutes. Other helpful options include a snow thrower, a wheelbarrow plow, and even a leaf blower for lighter snow. If you need immediate help, consider hiring a professional snow removal company to take care of it for you.

While it’s less common than on other kinds of roofs, yes, ice dams can form on metal roofs. Metal roofs, particularly those with snow guards installed, can still accumulate ice at the roof edge, although ice dams on metal roofs are less likely to cause roof or interior damage than on traditional asphalt shingle roofs.

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.
