Protecting Your Spokane Property Through Winter Snow Season

Inland Northwest winters bring real snow, ice, and freeze-thaw swings. A little preparation keeps your property safe, accessible, and ready for spring. Here's our seasonal checklist.

Have a Snow Plan Before the First Storm

The worst time to figure out snow removal is at 5 a.m. with eight inches on the driveway. Set up a snow removal plan in the fall — a seasonal contract puts you on the route automatically so you never have to scramble after a storm.

Don't Forget Deicing

Plowing clears snow, but ice is what causes most winter slips and falls. Spokane's freeze-thaw cycle melts snow during the day and refreezes it overnight on walkways and entrances. Deicing those high-traffic areas is the key to winter safety, especially for businesses and rentals.

Protect Your Landscape

Mark the edges of beds, walkways, and irrigation heads before the snow flies so plows and shovels don't damage them. Wrap or shelter vulnerable shrubs, and make sure your irrigation system was blown out before the first hard freeze to prevent cracked lines.

Keep Access Clear for Safety

Beyond convenience, clear driveways and walkways matter for emergency access and liability. For commercial properties and HOAs, consistent clearing isn't optional — it protects your visitors and your business.
