Tip #1: Use snow stakes. We repair thousands of dollars of snow plow damage in lawns in the spring and find that customers who use snow stakes on curb & driveway edges have almost no damage.
Snow stakes sit about 4 feet out of the ground and are hammered right in on the curb/driveway edge to identify the edge of the road/driveway and yard. They can be purchased at home improvement stores for super cheap!
PLEASE, PLEASE invest the small amount ($30-40) now as a preventative measure to save money and time and headache next Spring!
Seeding or sodding in the spring can be $100's to $1000's of dollars AND a muddy mess until new grass is established. (In addition, seeding sunny driveway areas in the Spring can mean weeds and crabgrass in those areas all summer..
