Winter Storms: How We Can Help

Thanks to heavy winter storms, your garden may look a little less than ideal. With snow and wind and ice, even the best garden can end up in chaos. As soon as things start to thaw out a little, you’ll need to get it all cleaned up and that’s where we can help you out.

Hire a Skip to Eliminate Debris

The average storm can knock down some large branches, as well as roof shingles and other odds and ends. While you may not want to pick these up while there’s still snow on the ground, eventually, they will need to be removed at some point.

The easiest way to get rid of the many pieces that have fallen into your garden is to hire a skip. Skips come in a range of sizes to help you clear out everything you want to get rid of, from large branches, pieces of trees that have been chopped up and smaller branches and debris. If you’re not sure how much space you need, talk to the skip hire and get their advice. Alternatively, you can gather everything first and then hire the skip once you know just how much waste you have.

Get Some Help

If you have large tree limbs and even fallen trees to deal with, you may want to bring in some extra help. This could be a neighbour, family friend, or someone from a local youth group to help with the heavy lifting. You can have the skip placed as close as possible to make it easier to carry everything to the skip and dump it.

Clearing out a garden after winter storms can be frustrating and a lot of work, so more hands will help. Be sure to have refreshments for everyone who comes to aid you.

Start Big and Go Small

You can begin with the big pieces of debris and then add in the smaller bits and bobs around the biggest chunks. This ensures everything will fit in the skip. It’s usually best to go a little larger than you think you’ll need, simply because branches and pieces of the roof can be awkwardly shaped. The larger container gives you plenty of space for placing everything, no matter how oddly shaped it may be.

As you get the bigger pieces out of your garden and off your lawn, the entire space will begin to look better. You’ll find that it’s easier to work when you see a difference. Take the time to appreciate what you’ve done and admire your work. Then call the skip company to take everything away.
