Protecting Your Landscape During Snow Removal in Madison & Throughout Wisconsin

Snow removal in Madison and throughout Wisconsin can wreck havoc on your landscape. Preserving the visual appeal of your outdoor space takes thoughtful and precise planning to effectively remove the snow without damaging your landscape elements. Whether you are a do-it-yourselfer or you are looking for professional snow removal, these tips will help you navigate your snow removal plan all while protecting your landscape. 

Equipment

Choosing the right equipment for your property's snow removal is an essential part in removing it efficiently. With the use of snow blowers, shovels, and plows, you can tackle the winter season with ease and move the snow away from your driveway, sidewalk, walkways, and landscape.

Plant Care

If you are able to cover your plants prior to the first snowfall, this will help to keep your plants protected from snow piling on them which can damage the leaves and branches. If snow has already collected on your plants, simply brush it off gently with a broom. By marking the boundaries of your landscape prior to snow removal can help to avoid damage to your landscape throughout the process too.

Avoid Chemicals

If you are concerned about delicate plants or vegetation areas, you should avoid the use of chemicals, like salt, for your snow removal strategy. Shoveling the snow away from your landscape is the best way to remove the snow without harming your landscape.

Strategic Snow Piles

When you've chose the right equipment, protected your plants and landscape area, piling the snow in strategic places will be an essential part of keeping the area cleared, accessible, and free of snow debris. Be sure to consider how the area drains water as the snow starts to melt as this can cause its own challenges if not managed properly. 

Timely Removal

Regular and timely removal of snow helps keep your property and landscape free of ice compaction which can be harder to remove and be even more harmful to your plants. You may need to remove the snow multiple times per day during heavy snowfall.
