6. Plan for Heavy Snow and Ice
For areas prone to frequent winter storms, consider permanent solutions like heated driveways or walkway mats. These options reduce manual labor and prevent ice from forming, ensuring a safer path all season long.
7. Check for Hazards Regularly
Snow can hide uneven pavement, steps, or other hazards. Before winter fully sets in, inspect your walkways and repair any cracks or uneven surfaces. Regular checks during the season help prevent accidents caused by hidden obstacles under the snow.
Final Thoughts
Winter doesn’t have to mean treacherous walkways and constant worry about slips and falls. By following these simple steps—shoveling early, using ice melt wisely, improving traction, and staying prepared—you can enjoy the beauty of the season without sacrificing safety. A little effort goes a long way in keeping your walkways clear, safe, and inviting all winter long.
