Prepare for winter, things to remember:
* Turn water off at hose faucets; drain and store hoses.
* Move freezable liquids indoors, such as pool supplies,
cleaners, bug sprays, etc. Be sure to store them in a safe
location away from food and children.
* Cut back ornamental grasses.
* Install markers or stakes along lawns, curbs, plants, sprinkler
heads, etc. to provide a visual structure to help prevent
damage from snow plows and snow removal services.
* Prepare snow blowers, shovels and ice melter.
* Add gas stabilizer to your power equipment before storing for winter.
* Keep a ice scraper and snow brush, along with jumper cables and flashlight in your vehicle.
* Keep lock de-icer handy in the event of frozen locks. Spray WD-40 or similar
lubricant in locks to help prevent freezing problems.
* Schedule service for your mower and power equipment for next season.
