Peter Valenti Landscaping - Franklin Square's Reliable Landscaping Services

Proper snow removal is crucial for protecting your landscape. In Franklin Square, heavy, compacted snow and improper plowing can damage underlying turf, shrubs, and hardscapes, worsening issues like soil compaction. Our service uses the right equipment and techniques to clear driveways and walkways without harming your lawn's edges or burying plants in ice-melting salt residue, ensuring a healthier foundation for your spring landscaping.

Absolutely. In our area, snow and ice melt can pool in low spots, saturating the soil. When this heavy, wet soil freezes and thaws, it leads to severe compaction. Our snow removal strategy includes managing snow piles away from foundation drains and low-lying landscape beds. By controlling where meltwater flows, we help prevent the waterlogging and freezing cycles that are a common cause of compaction in Franklin Square yards.

For the health of your plants, it's best to have overgrown shrubs professionally pruned in late fall, after leaf drop but before heavy snow. This removes dead wood and reduces the branch surface area where heavy, wet snow can accumulate and cause breakage. Addressing overgrowth before winter minimizes damage, makes snow removal around your property easier and safer, and prepares your shrubs for healthy spring growth here in Franklin Square.
