Trickey's Lawncare - East Tawas's Qualified Landscaping Services

Proper snow removal is crucial for preventing springtime water problems. We strategically clear snow to direct meltwater away from your home's foundation and low-lying areas of your yard. By preventing heavy snowpack from creating ice dams and compacted areas that lead to pooling, we help ensure that when the thaw comes, water drains properly instead of creating those soggy, problematic spots common in our local soil conditions.

Absolutely, a leaking sprinkler is a major contributor to standing water and soil erosion, even outside the watering season. We recommend not waiting. A leak over the winter can saturate the ground, leading to frost heave that damages the sprinkler system further and creates a muddy, compacted area. Addressing it before the ground freezes solid can prevent a much larger and more expensive repair—and a bigger drainage issue—come spring.

Yes, it's a key part of our service. Before the first major snow, we note the natural flow of your landscape and any known drainage spots or low areas. During plowing and shoveling, we carefully manage snow placement to avoid blocking drainage paths, window wells, or downspout outlets. Our goal is to clear your drive and walkways while working with your yard's topography to facilitate healthy meltwater runoff and avoid creating new problem areas.
