We set winter guardrails: no parking on the field, keep lids sealed, and watch for slow drains. We adjust crew size and gear to finish efficiently during shorter days.

Cleanup is deliberate: we rinse and wipe equipment, roll hoses clean, pick up mats, and sweep any debris. Before departing, we review what we did, what we saw, and what to watch for over the next season.
