Spring Has Sprung!<\/h2>\n

Hello! We are excited to be sending our first\u00a0MPS Property Services digital Newsletter. As part of our company’s growth we have recognized that digital outreach is an important way to keep in contact with our customers.
\nOur objective\u00a0in these newsletters is to keep our customers up to date with our services and projects as well as to send out tips and pieces of advice to help with your own property maintenance.
\nIn addition to our Newsletter we have also been working hard to get our new website up and running and joining the social media world.<\/p>\n

President’s Corner<\/h3>\n

\"Jim<\/p>\n

Over the years, we\u2019ve often wondered about the best way to reach out to our customers, (and potential customers!), in order to share some timely information, discuss changes in the industry, or just talk about cool projects we\u2019re working on.\u00a0 As a result, we\u2019ve resurrected the \u201cMPS News\u201d, which we originally experimented with in paper version 15 years ago! We hope to be able to share information that you might find relevant, informative, and hopefully, interesting.\u00a0 If there\u2019s anything you\u2019d like to see covered, please feel free to let us know \u2013 we aim to please!
\nWith the changeover from snow removal to landscaping season, there\u2019s always the challenge of putting away and storing winter equipment, pulling out the mowers and excavators, and getting our staff re-oriented to provide our new seasonal services.\u00a0 This year was no different, although the lingering winter (plowing well into April??!!)\u00a0 added challenges to that (We took off plows and salters 3 times in anticipation of the arrival of spring!). We\u2019ve made it through, and are now going full-steam building and maintaining beautiful landscapes.
\nThis offseason, we\u2019ve made a real commitment to improving our on-line presence.\u00a0 We\u2019ve updated our website, and have made sure to make it mobile friendly.\u00a0 We have tons of photos and information on past projects, as well as staff profiles, a section for blogs where we\u2019ll have various staff members posting \u00a0timely and relevant articles on just about anything that might be occurring with MPS.\u00a0 We\u2019ve also entered the world of social media, and you can now easily follow us on Instagram and Facebook, with an increased presence on other platforms to come.\u00a0 Please feel free to take a look around, and sign up to follow us \u2013 we\u2019d love to get any feedback on what you like, or how to improve it!

Spring-Cleaning and Safety Tips<\/h3>\n

With liability and compliance issues becoming more and more a focal point in today\u2019s business climate, making simple repairs before potential hazards get out of control is always a prudent strategy.
\nFor instance; heaved or sunken sections of interlock paving, often caused by our seasonal freeze-thaw cycle, can create a significant trip and fall hazard on your walkways and patio areas. A quick \u201clift & relay\u201d repair of the affected section or area will not only improve the aesthetics of your property, but also make it much safer for pedestrian traffic.
\nSimilarly, low hanging or dead tree branches near walkways or roadways can also be a risk to both pedestrians and moving vehicles. By raising the canopies of your existing trees, and cutting out dead or storm-damaged branches, the trees will be both healthier and less hazardous to passing vehicles and pedestrians. Greater visibility and security are also realized through this simple procedure.
\nA thorough site assessment to identify any such hazards is an essential first step in making your property as safe as possible for all staff and visitors. MPS<\/em><\/strong> is always available to assist in the restoration of your property to its safest possible state!
\nSpringtime is always a great time to re-evaluate your property with an eye to identifying those pesky little problems and imperfections which can detract from your site\u2019s \u201ccurb appeal\u201d, and could possibly even lead to big health & safety complications down the road if left unresolved. \u00a0A little \u201cspring cleaning\u201d can go a long way in helping make your property shine and look its best.
\nMPS<\/em><\/strong> is proud to offer many additional services that can be used to improve the look and feel of your property. These services include:<\/p>\n
