Winter in East Grand Forks always seems to arrive sooner than expected — one day you’re raking leaves, and the next you’re waking up to a layer of snow. A little preparation before that first big snowfall can save you time, money, and frustration all season long. Here’s how to make sure your home or business is ready when winter hits.
1. Clean Up Leaves and Debris
Before the snow starts piling up, it’s important to clear your yard of leaves, branches, and other debris. Leftover yard waste can smother your grass, clog drains, and make spring cleanup harder. Unlimited Enterprises offers leaf vacuuming and fall cleanup services to help you wrap up the season easily.
2. Mark Driveways and Walkways
Once the snow falls, it’s tough to know where your driveway edges and sidewalks begin. Installing reflective snow stakes or driveway markers helps plow drivers (and you) avoid turf damage and keep your property safe during snow removal.
3. Schedule Snow Removal Services Early
Don’t wait until the first blizzard to call for help. Unlimited Enterprises provides residential and commercial snow removal across East Grand Forks — including plowing, ice control, and off-site snow hauling. Signing up early ensures you’ll be on the route when the snow starts to fly.
4. Check Your Drainage and Gutters
Ice dams and frozen gutters can lead to leaks and property damage. Make sure your gutters are clear, downspouts are pointed away from your foundation, and sump pump discharge lines are free from debris before the freeze.
5. Stock Up on Salt or De-Icer
When temperatures drop, having salt on hand can make all the difference. Unlimited Enterprises offers bulk salt sales and delivery, so you can stay safe without scrambling to find supplies during a storm.
6. Inspect Equipment and Outdoor Lighting
If you maintain your own property, now’s the time to make sure your snow blower, shovels, and lighting are in good working condition. Well-lit driveways and walkways keep everyone safe when visibility is low.
