Why You Should Start Planning for Snow Now
Winter will be here before you know it and as we get closer to the end of summer, it’s time to start thinking about getting your business ready for the colder months. Though your commercial landscape maintenance team can get your plants ready for the freezing temps, your plants aren’t the only part of your property that needs care and attention. You also need to keep your walkways clear, make sure the parking areas aren’t iced over, and have a plan in place for snow removal. Sure, thinking about snow when it’s still warm outside might seem unnecessary, but the sooner you can start planning for winter, the better. Here’s why you should start planning now.
Snow Can Start Early
Though it’s relatively uncommon, the greater Denver area has seen snow as early as September. If you’re not ready for snowfall, your business can practically come to a standstill. By getting winter-ready in late summer, you’ll be prepared for snow no matter when it starts falling. And if your competitors aren’t following suit, you may make your business more attractive to new customers and clients.
Having Supplies on Hand Can Make Your Property Safer
One of the biggest challenges business owners face during the winter months is making sure their properties are safe. Slip-and-fall accidents happen more often when walkways are slick, wet, or icy. And even one accident can cost you thousands if a customer sues for damages. By stocking up on deicing agents, salt, and snow removal equipment early on, you’ll make your property safer. You won’t have to scramble to find the equipment you need at the same time as your competitors. Instead, you’ll be ready the minute snow starts to fall.
Snow Removal Companies Fill up Fast
Though you can clear your parking lot and walkways on your own, doing so takes a lot of time. And that’s time you could better spend running your business. Working with a snow removal company will help speed up the process of clearing your property after every heavy snowfall. But those companies often fill up fast and the sooner you can sign up for their services, the better. By contacting your snow removal team before winter starts, you’ll make sure you’re on their list before they fill up their client list.
Having a Plan Reduces Liability Risk
As a responsible business owner, you should have a general liability insurance policy to protect you from unforeseen accidents and events. But filing a claim can be expensive and if several people get hurt on your property because the walkways are too icy, you may end up spending more money than you want. Worse, you can damage your reputation with your customers since your property may not be considered safe. By creating a snow removal plan now, you’ll reduce your liability risk during the winter months.
