Prepare for Winter

Time to start getting ready for the cold and snow. Here are a couple things you should think about:

• Shut off exterior water valves.
• Drain outdoor faucets to prevent frozen and cracked pipes.
• Clean out gutters and downspouts to prevent the formation of ice dams.
• Inspect and repair those snow shovels and snow blowers.

Also remember to prune back your plants before winter in order to encourage healthy growth in the spring time!
