SAFE WINTER DRIVING IN SASKATCHEWAN 

Driving conditions in Saskatchewan aren’t always ideal. Inclement weather can affect roads and as a motorist, you need to adjust your driving habits accordingly. On average in Saskatchewan, road and weather conditions are a contributing factor in more than 8,500 vehicle collisions each year. These crashes result in an average of 1,530 injuries and 21 deaths annually.

It’s important to recognize that poor visibility – whether caused by rain, snow, fog or bright sunlight – gives you less time to react to hazards.  Slowing down and constantly scanning the road in front of you is the best way to stay safe.

TIPS AND TRAVEL GUIDELINES

• Posted speed limits are for ideal driving conditions. When those conditions deteriorate you must slow down in order to maintain control of your vehicle. So even if the posted limit is 100 km/h, in poor conditions you should be driving under that speed.
• If possible, prepare your car before your trip by checking the battery, windshield wipers, and fluid levels.
• Be sure your headlights and taillights are functioning properly so that you can see (and be seen) in low visibility.
• Remember to use caution near intersections when the roads are slippery. Another driver may be approaching too fast and be unable to stop, so you should always look both ways before proceeding, even if you have the right of way.
• Leave more distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you when driving conditions are poor. Slippery surfaces increase your stopping distance, so following another vehicle too closely could result in a rear-end collision. This is especially true in the winter when snow and ice present a unique challenge to drivers.
• Stay safe in the cold by checking the road and weather conditions before your trip and ensuring that your vehicle has a full tank of gas.
• Clear snow from your vehicle and be sure your windows are completely free of frost before hitting the road.
• When you’re driving in the winter, keep both hands on the steering wheel and try to stay in 1 lane as much as possible.
• If you begin to skid or lose control of your vehicle, remain calm and take your foot off the accelerator. Don’t lock the brakes. Instead, brake steadily, look where you want to go and steer in that direction.
• A roadside emergency kit is another essential part of safe winter driving.
• roadside emergency kit is another essential part of safe winter driving.

Buy or put together and maintain an emergency kit that has:

• a shovel
• Blankets
• Snow brush
• Ice scraper
• Flashlight
• Batteries
• Flares
• Booster cables
• Candles
• First-aid kit
• Food
• Water cup

No matter what causes poor driving conditions – from a winter blizzard or a summer rainstorm – remember that your 1st choice should be avoiding travel altogether. Wait until the conditions improve to ensure that you arrive at your destination safely.

Benefits Of Landscaping By Rapid Lawn Landscape Solutions

It’s easy to appreciate the sights and smells afforded by lush green lawns and landscapes, but did you know their real value is much more substantial than pleasing aesthetics and aromas? That’s right, well-managed landscapes offer tremendous benefits for people and for the environment.

Environmental Benefits of Landscaping

• Natural Coolants – Grass is much cooler than asphalt or cement. It acts as an “air conditioner” for the surrounding area. In fact, lawns can be 31 degrees cooler than asphalt and 20 degrees cooler than bare soil. Trees shading homes can reduce attic temperatures by as much as 40 degrees.
• Environmental Cleaners – Grass plays a vital role in capturing dust, smoke particles and other pollutants, and it produces oxygen.
• Water Protectors – Healthy lawns absorb unhealthy runoff that might otherwise filter into bodies of water.
• Air Cleaners – Grasses absorb carbon dioxide and break it down into oxygen and carbon. A turf area 50′ x 50′ produces enough oxygen to meet the everyday needs of a family of four.
• Noise Minimizers – Lawns and plants dramatically reduce noise pollution; they can reduce noise levels by 20 percent to 30 percent over hard surfaces like concrete and pavement.
• Turfgrass slows down and absorbs runoff into bodies of water.

Even in areas that have water restrictions and are experiencing drought, it is important that lawns and landscapes remain a viable component of healthy communities. There are a number of sustainable practices that will allow managed lawns and landscapes to reduce water usage but still provide important environmental benefits.

Benefits of Commercial Landscaping 

Businesses are more successful when they provide clients with landscaped areas around buildings and plants inside buildings.

• The research found seven percent higher rental rates for commercial offices having high-quality landscapes.
• Shoppers claim they will spend nine to 12 percent more for goods and services in central business areas that have high-quality tree canopies.
• Shoppers indicate they will travel a greater distance and a longer time to visit an area with a high-quality tree canopy and spend more time there once they arrive.*
• Companies that provide their employees with interactions with nature also benefit. Research showed that workers who could view nature from their desks had a much better job and life satisfaction and better health.

Physical and Psychological Benefits Of Landscaping

• The benefits of human interaction with plants, trees, and grass are also well studied and documented. Research has found that people find stress relief and healing when interacting with nature or even viewing it through a window.
• According to Harvard Health Publications, children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) seem to focus better after being outdoors. Workers are more productive as well when working in environments with plants, and cognitive function is improved.

But, perhaps more important than what science tells us, is what people instinctively feel about the plants and green spaces in their lives–that the connection makes their lives better, and they want to make an effort to incorporate it into their lives.

In addition to landscape design, hardscaping and artificial turf, we also do conventional seeding and are suppliers of landscape supply products. We sell all types of turfgrass seed, native grass seed and low maintenance grass seed products.
