Take the time to do a thorough inspection and assessment of your patios, driveways and walkways to protect them from the freeze/thaw cycles sure to be heading our way soon.
As the saying goes; “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”, meaning it is easier to stop something from happening in the first place than to repair the damage after it happens.
