January & February: To Do List
- Snow and Ice Control

- Tree/shrub pruning, but remember that if the tree/shrub flowers in the spring/summer. Do not prune until after the plant is done flowering in the spring/summer
When working outside in cold weather remember the following:
- Dress in layers
- Protect head, feet, hands and face from cold
- Proper foot wear…insulated & waterproof
- Be aware of the wind chill
- When shoveling snow or lifting salt, let your legs do the work NOT your back
NOTE: Lawn mowing will be slowing down!
