Description
Snow plowing from the yard is done by plowing the snow away and piling it on your own plot so that it does not cause harm or danger. Snow piles should be placed so that they do not block traffic or cause danger. Meltwater from the snow must also be taken into account. If there is no suitable space on your own yard, the snow must be transported away, for example to a snow reception point designated by the city.
Snow piling and placement
- Own plot: Snow must be piled on your own property. Make sure that the pile does not obstruct passage or cause danger, and that meltwater does not damage structures or neighbors.
- Housing company: The housing company may use spaces under the company’s control, such as parking spaces, for piling snow, but using a shareholder’s parking space requires their consent.
- Other land: Snow loads must not be piled on streets, parks or a neighbor’s plot.
Removing snow
- Professional help Tunturipuu.fi: If your own work ability or time is not sufficient, it is sensible to hire a professional to take care of snow plowing, for example with a snowblower.
- Snowblower use: Using a snowblower is effective especially on large areas and can make it easier to remove snow even from compacted drifts.
- Gritting: After snow work it is good to grit, especially if plowing has left behind a slippery surface, to prevent freezing and accidents.
Important considerations
- Meltwater: In the spring meltwater must flow in a controlled manner so that it does not cause damage to the building’s structures or to neighbors.
- Yard planning: Plan yard usability and winter maintenance when designing the yard.
