Driveway Maintenance Tips For Wyoming And Colorado

As the calendar flips towards November 30th, residents of Wyoming and Colorado must gear up for the heavy snowfalls expected with the southward plunge of colder air. Driveway maintenance becomes crucial in these regions to ensure safety and accessibility throughout the winter. Here are seven essential tips to prepare your driveway for the snowy season ahead.

1. Inspect And Repair Your Driveway

Before the snow hits, inspect your driveway for any cracks or damage. Water can seep into these cracks, freeze, and expand, causing further damage. Small repairs now can prevent bigger problems in the midst of winter.

2. Clear Debris Regularly

Keep your driveway clear of leaves, twigs, and other debris. These items can get buried under snow, making snow removal difficult and potentially creating hazards.

3. Snow Removal Equipment: Ready And Accessible

Ensure your snow removal equipment, like shovels and snow blowers, are in good working condition and easily accessible. Having them ready before the snowfall means you’re prepared to clear your driveway whenever needed.

4. Apply Safe Ice Melt Early

When heavy snow is forecasted, it’s wise to apply a layer of ice melt beforehand. Safe Paw, a chloride and toxin-free ice melt, is an excellent choice. It’s safe for people and pets, effective in low temperatures (-2°F), non-corrosive, and has a long shelf life with an excellent spread rate.

5. The Dangers Of Using Salt

Traditional salt-based ice melts can be harmful. They can corrode metal, damage concrete, harm plants and soil, and pose risks to pets and wildlife. Excessive salt can also lead to environmental issues like groundwater contamination.

6. Create A Snow Removal Plan

Plan how and where you will remove the snow. It’s best to shovel snow to areas where it won’t obstruct paths or refreeze on the driveway. Consider the direction of the sun and wind when deciding where to pile the snow.
