Snowy front yard.

As temperatures plummet and frost and snow set in, our outdoor hardscaping can become hazardous. True, some areas can be avoided until the inclement weather passes, but sometimes this isn't practical – there are many instances where you'll still need to get from A to B without slipping over.
