How to Remove Snow

Remove any rocks from walkways. Before you start removing snow, make sure there are no large objects in your path. You don't want something to get stuck in the snowblower and cause damage.

Shovel away small amounts of snow. If the snow is light, you may only need a shovel to get rid of it. Place floor wax on the shovel to stop the snow from sticking to it. Bend your knees while shoveling in order to avoid back injuries.

Use a snowblower for heavier snow. If you have more than a few inches, use a snowblower to remove the snow. These easy to use machines work like a lawn mower. You simply push the snowblower along and it shoots the snow off to the side.

Hire a snowplow service. If you have a large area to remove snow from, it is wise to hire a professional to assist you.

Throw down salt after snow removal. To prevent slipping on icy surfaces, place rock salt on walkways.
