What this checklist covers

Snow work is won or lost before the first storm. Equipment that breaks at 2 a.m. and a curb you did not know was there are the two costliest surprises. Photos of every site before the season protect you when a damage claim comes in spring.

FAQ

When should snow equipment be serviced?

Before the season, with spares on hand for the parts that fail in storms.

Why photograph sites before the season?

To show the condition of curbs, lawns and pavement before any plowing.

What should a snow contract say?

The trigger depth, what is cleared, salt terms and how you bill.

Why stake sites?

So plow drivers can find curbs, hydrants and edges under snow.
