Prepare for Winter

  • Turn water off at hose faucets; drain and store hoses.
  • Move freezable liquids indoors, such as pool supply cleaners, bug sprays, etc. Be sure to store them in a safe location away from food and children.
  • Cut back ornamental grasses.
  • Install markers or stakes along lawns, curbs, plants, sprinkler heads, etc. to provide a visual structure to help prevent damage from snow plows and snow removal services.
  • Prepare snow blowers, shovels and ice melter.
  • Add gas stabilizer to your power equipment before storing for winter.
  • Keep an ice scraper and snow brush, along with jumper cables and flashlight in your vehicle.
  • Keep lock de-icer handy in the event of frozen locks. Spray WD-40 or similar lubricant in locks to help prevent freezing problems.
  • Schedule service for your mower and power equipment for next season.
