Homeowners who have replaced their roof in the past know the toll a job can potentially take on their landscaping. When fixing a roof, it is important to take steps to protect your lawn and landscaping from any damage that may occur during the roofing project. Here are some tips on what you can do ahead of time to protect your lawn:
Move outdoor furniture and decor: Moving any outdoor furniture, decor, or other objects out of harm's way can help prevent them from being damaged or knocked over during a roofing project.
Water the lawn: Watering the lawn before and after a roofing project can help minimize any damage that may occur and promote faster recovery.
Trim overhanging branches: If there are any tree branches overhanging the roof, it may be a good idea to trim them back to prevent any potential obstructions.
Hire a professional roofing contractor: Hiring a roofing contractor who is experienced in protecting lawns and landscaping during roofing projects can help ensure that your lawn stays safe and healthy throughout the project. They may have specific procedures and equipment to protect your lawn while completing the roofing project.
Across America, professional roofing contractors use the Equipter 4000 to keep jobsites clean. The Equipter is designed to catch debris, such as shingles, nails, and other materials, as they fall from the roof during a roofing project. This can prevent the debris from landing on the lawn or landscaping, reducing the risk of damage. The Equipter is self-propelled and can move around on its own, making it easy to position it in the right location to protect landscaping and gardens. This can help prevent heavy equipment or workers from causing damage to the lawn or plants. Optional accessories available to contractors who use the Equipter like track mats and stabilizer pads further protect lawns from damage.
The Equipter can be used to create a barrier around plants or other vulnerable landscaping features, helping to protect them from damage. This can be especially important for delicate plants or landscaping that is located close to the house or in other high-risk areas. By catching debris as it falls, the Equipter 4000 can reduce the amount of time and effort required for clean-up after a roofing project is complete. This can help minimize disruption to the landscaping and prevent further damage from being caused during the clean-up process.
Overall, using an Equipter can help minimize the risk of damage to your landscaping during a roofing project, while also making the project safer and more efficient. If you are planning a roofing project, consider talking to your roofing contractor to see if they can use an Equipter 4000 on your job.
The Equipter 4000 can be rented from over 300 locations across the United States.
