Get Your Patch of Green ... 'Green'

We can probably say that it’s safe now to trade snow shovels for garden shovels, snowplows for lawn mowers and mittens for garden gloves.

With temperatures climbing into the 60s on a regular basis it’s a downright heat wave — plenty warm to start sprucing up lawns and garden beds. Now is the time to consider everything from mulching grass and checking for disease to inspecting your lawn mower and choosing a date to fertilize.

Here, lawn and garden experts offer tips for treating your patch of green well and getting it in tip-top shape:

Maintain your mower

Inspect your lawn mower, said Joe Kosiara, master gardener at the  Edsel & Eleanor Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores.  “Pull the plug wire, clean under the deck, remove and sharpen the blade, remove and replace spark plugs and remove and clean the air filter."

Seed lawns

  “This is a great time for patching and seeding lawns,” said Jennifer Youngquest of  English Gardens . Reseeding bare spots keeps the lawn thick and prevents weeds from taking hold.”

ATV Snow Plows

by Shopping Expert

Those who live in areas that typically see a lot of snowfall during the winter months may find many benefits in owning an ATV snow plow. These devices allow you to use your ATV or 4-wheeler to easily and quickly clear snow from your sidewalks and driveways. You can use them for many other purposes as well from grading paths to leveling dirt and many other tasks. While most people who own ATVs choose them for their recreational purposes, they do offer a bit of functionality as well. An ATV snow plow allows you to make good use of your all-terrain vehicle.

Snow plows are typically used on roadways in areas that see large amounts of snowfall. They are needed to clear paths through the snow to make traveling much safer for consumers. Clearing the snow from sidewalks and driveways, while typically done with a shovel is made much easier with an ATV snow plow. This allows you to clear a much greater area in a smaller amount of time and is simply easier than shoveling.

If you are planning to attach a snow plow to your all-terrain vehicle, you may want to consider your tires. Purchasing tires that have good, deep tread will give you more traction and make snow clearing much easier. In addition, a winch is also typically recommended for those who plan to plow snow with their ATV. The winch is used to lower and raise the snow plow’s blade and helps you to adjust the angle at which you will plow the snow. This can be very beneficial in areas that see several feet of snowfall at once.

An ATV snow plow is a much safer, not to mention easier alternative to shoveling snow. It allows you to cover more area and takes much less time than shoveling by hand. Those with teenagers or pre-teens may find that having your children shovel snow is a much easier task when an ATV is involved. Many teenagers in fact, earn money by shoveling snow with an ATV snow plow for neighbors and other residents in their areas during the long winter months.

An ATV snow plow is an excellent accessory for those who simply do not want to shovel snow by hand or those who cannot for health reasons. In addition to effectively and quickly removing snow buildup, the snow plow attachment can be used for other tasks as well. You can use your snow plow attachment to grate surfaces in order to make them even, spread sand for a variety of purposes and spread gravel. In addition, they can be used to help loosen and move dirt. Adding a snow plow attachment for shoveling snow makes the purchase well worthwhile, but having the ability to perform other tasks with the attachment really helps you to get your money’s worth.

Quick Guide For Buying A Snow Plow And Shoveling Snow This Winter

If you are anything like me you enjoy winter as much as you hate it at the same time. There are many joys of winter, such as beautiful white trees, warm and fuzzy open fires with hot chocolate, but quite on the other side of the coin is snow on the driveway.

This is the kind of snow that we all hate and want to get rid of FAST. Most people would rather have somebody else get this snow off the lawn, because it can be so annoying and hard to remove yourself. Don't you agree?

That's why most people end up buying a snow shovel or two. They spend all their time shoveling away, but the next morning it's all back there again! This really sucks... You have worked hard to remove all the snow and you wake up only to see it again. Well there's a solution that is faster than shoveling and that's called plowing!

Yepp, a snow plow is a much more time efficient way to get rid of snow on your front lawn or driveway. I highly recommend either a snow plow that attaches to the front of your SUV, Truck or large car with controllers from the inside, or a seated snow plow that you drive yourself. Either kind will greatly help you remove the snow faster, making this task quite enjoyable.

Instead of using a shovel for hours, you can quickly and easily drive up and down the lawn or driveway a few times and quickly remove pretty much all the snow and get it to where it doesn't disturb you. It leaves a much cleaner view and it's easier to come back and remove the snow a second time.

There are quite a few places to purchase your snow plows from, but you should do some research first. There is a wide range of snow plows availiable on the market, and many can be had at a little discount online. I was quite amazed to see that Amazon didn't have that many to sell. Mostly accessories and drive-yourself snow plows actually.

Anyway, if you want to clear up your driveway faster and easier this winter, I highly suggest getting some kind of snow plow, especially...
