Winter-Ready Parking Lots and Walkways

Winter doesn’t wait. Parking lots, sidewalks, and curbs that aren’t prepped in fall often suffer costly damage during plowing season.

1. Repair cracks now
Moisture seeps into pavement cracks. Once it freezes, expansion turns small cracks into potholes.

2. Repaint striping
Fresh striping in fall improves visibility when lots are covered in snow, reducing accidents and liability.

3. Protect curbs and landscaping
Mark curbs, drains, and landscape edges with stakes so plows know where to avoid damage.

4. Clear drains and inlets
Blocked drains lead to freeze-thaw puddles — breeding grounds for black ice.

5. Review snow contracts early
Don’t wait until November. Securing snow services now ensures your property is prioritized when storms hit.

👉 A little prep in September protects your property from damage, delays, and downtime in December.
