Winter Preparation

Now that fall is coming upon us it is time to clean up the flower garden. Please clean out the leaves, dead growth, debris and garbage from your garden area to prepare it for winter. This is also the time of the year for planting bulbs for next year’s garden.

Disconnect all outdoor hoses and bring them inside to prevent freezing.

Make sure your outside water tap is turned off and drained to prevent the pipe from freezing.

Check your outside outlet and make sure it is working before the freezing weather.

Test your smoke and fire alarms and replace batteries.

Replace furnace filters and have your furnace professional cleaned.
