Clearing the Perimeter
Ladders require firm footing. Move heavy planters, patio furniture, and garden hoses away from the exterior walls before the morning crew arrives with their equipment trailers. When installers hang rain gutters in Venice, stray garden tools left hidden in thick turf can easily tip an extension ladder or puncture a work boot. Keep outdoor spigots clear and unlock all tall side gates so crews carrying long aluminum sections do not dent fence posts. Pets need to stay indoors behind closed blinds, because falling debris and the sudden whine of impact drivers make nervous dogs bolt through open gates.
