Working in the Yard? Follow these Safety Tips
Now that warmer weather is here to stay for quite some time, there’s a good chance you’ll find yourself working outdoors on a regular basis.
From mowing the lawn to trimming bushes, there’s always another project on your to-do list.
While there’s nothing wrong with working hard in your yard, don’t overlook the importance of your safety and well being.
Here are a handful of safety tips to follow:
· Use proper lifting technique. For example, if you’re lifting bags of dirt or mulch, proper technique is a must. If you don’t pay attention to what you’re doing, it could result in a serious back or neck injury (among others).
· Watch the heat. Even if you enjoy the warm weather, don’t lose sight of the fact that it can quickly take a toll on your body. Stay hydrated, take breaks, and don’t push yourself too hard.
· Think about safety when using tools. Power tools, for instance, can be extremely dangerous if used in the wrong manner.
Your good time working outdoors can turn sour in no time at all if you suffer an injury or illness. For this reason, you should always follow these safety tips.

Excellent service. Any question I had was addressed in a friendly yet professional manner. I have used Pond before for replacement windows and siding and most recently for new roofing. I highly recommend them for their responsiveness and the high quality of their work.
Easy communication with tons of photos and excellent job! Pond Roofing even came back to replace the color of the shingles to our satisfaction. The property was in McLean and they made me look great since my landlord client was very impressed. The swag cookies to our tenants was an added bonus. :-) Thanks so much!
Very fast initial response time and great customer service. Repair work was done (by prearrangement) while we had to be out of town and it looks great now that we are back. We have used Pond before and would call them first if we need roofing work in the future. Thanks!
Great communication, very professional repair crew. We have a new construction house that had some issues with vent seals after 10yrs and Pond fixed 8 different areas in one day--very happy with the work.
I recently hired Pond Roofing to check out a leak. They did a great job coming in on time and to troubleshoot the issue. Their pricing was competitive and overall service was excellent. I’m very happy with their work.
Pond Roofing was very responsive and knowledgeable about the condition of our roof. They delivered before the expected date and their work was impeccable. I cannot recommend working with Shanti enough.
Quality and Integrity. Terrific job on a roof repair. Called for a minor fix which was expertly accomplished. Patrick performed a complete inspection, ensuring no other damage or work needed. Perfect!
