Landscape Tips for a Safe Halloween
Before little ghosts and goblins go haunting, property managers can plan ahead for a safe holiday. On Halloween, more strangers walk up to residences in one evening than on any other day of the year, so play it safe and call Crabapple LandscapExperts ahead of time to prep your property.
● Prepare for Trick-or-Treaters by removing obstacles and anything a child might trip over on the property, including toys, bikes, hoses and lawn decorations
● Restrain dogs and other pets during the “witching hours”
● Repair steps ahead of time
● Rake slippery leaves off of paving and throw sand on slippery walks to provide traction
● Light pathways and stairs for safety’s sake
● Check outdoor lights and replace burned out bulbs
● Do not overload electrical outlets with holiday lighting
● Indirect or LED lighting can provide enough light to keep everyone safe
After trick-or-treating hours have ended (or all the candy is gone), turn off welcoming porch lights to discourage visitors. Crabapple LandscapExperts wish all our property managers and all their residents a safe and delicious Halloween!
