Be prepared as winter approaches—prevent snow plow damage to your yard is by using marking sticks in strategic locations. Using marking sticks can help the plow driver better identify street edges, which helps avoid turf damage. Markers should be spaced about 15 feet apart and mainly on curves.

Stop by Chanhassen Public Works building (7901 Park Place) between 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to pick up a few free markers (up to 5 per household). Available while supplies last.

*Not intended for driveways, cul-de-sacs, or locations where you do not want snow to be placed.
