Winter landscape problems on a Chicago commercial property start in fall. The work scheduled in the next few weeks decides two costly outcomes later. One is the spring repair bill. The other is slip-and-fall exposure once ice storms begin.
Small concerns can turn into expensive hassles fast in freezing weather. A skipped irrigation blowout can mean cracked backflow preventers and burst lines. A clogged drain often sends meltwater across walkways where it refreezes overnight. Heavy leaves left on turf can smother the grass by March, and an unsigned snow contract leaves the property waiting in line when the first storm hits.
