Question:
How can I better budget my snow removal and ice control expenses?

Answer:
First, identify and track the total costs of your snow and ice control. If your services are consolidated, your vendor should provide a cost breakdown per location from previous winters and assist with budgeting. I recommend basing your budget on the past three years at minimum to account for varying annual snow accumulations. One riskier financial strategy is an all-inclusive plan, which allows you to nail budget numbers, spend more than necessary in milder winters, or save in harsher ones.
