How To Get Free Snow Removal in Highlands Ranch

South Facing Reality About Snow Removal

I love getting things for FREE.  Why do you think one of the most popular categories on Craigslist is the FREE section?  You are probably an el cheapo like me and that is how you ended up on my blog looking for free stuff.  Maybe you thought that it was a teen youth group doing good deeds to reach out to the neighbors.  It’s not even that complicated.  All you need to do is buy a house or town house with a south or southwest facing driveway and a little patience.  In fact if you are REALLY patient it doesn’t matter what direction that your driveway faces.  By late July all of that snow will magically disappear from every driveway in Highlands Ranch.

Did you even think about your south facing driveway when you bought?

When you are buying a home, it is important to consider the direction that the house faces.  Along with the direction of the driveway, the slope of the driveway is important as well.  I can’t tell you how many times that I’ve pulled into a driveway to show a home on a snowy day only to have my van slide back down to the road.  Talk about first impressions!!! The homes that face south are also brighter in the entryway and living room where other first impressions are made.  Most people just don’t think that much about it in the middle of summer when the greatest number of real estate transactions take place.

What about Douglas County Snow Removal?

I love living here in Highlands Ranch so don’t get me wrong but our snow removal has much to be desired.  I lived on Highlands Ranch Golf Course and now live on a cul-de-sac in East Highlands Ranch.  The snow plows hardly ever make it up side roads in our area.  I went to the county website to get information and found that the links did not work.  So when it comes to snow removal, you are pretty much on your own.   I believe Highlands Ranch Metro District does a better job with the trails and parks than the county does with our actual roads.  By the way I found out that each home owner is responsible to remove the snow from the sidewalk in front of their home.  The good thing is that we don’t get as much snow as people think we do.

Recycle and Save When Dealing with Snow

I found a ton of salt/rock on my garage floor after the snow melted off my car.  You have to sweep it up anyways so you might as well keep a container of it to spread back out when the next snow falls.  It is cheaper and environmentally friendly.  The only problem is that it isn’t as effective as products like MAG Chloride and rock salt. I find that a combination of the two work well for small snow removal jobs.
