PURCHASING SNOW & ICE MANAGEMENT SERVICES<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\"snow\"<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Hiring a professional, reliable and experienced Snow & Ice contractor is a very important step in protecting your business throughout the winter season. Your level of risk will increase greatly if you hire a service provider without adequate insurance, reliable equipment, skilled workers, accurate documentation or experience under the worst conditions that winter can throw at us.
\nA good Snow & Ice contractor will always be able to provide and sign a contract that carefully defines the desired level of service, engineered site maps, work logs, and be easily accessible throughout any winter snow event.
\nSome of the most important things to look for when selecting a winter service provider include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Safety, liability and risk management<\/li>\n
  • Estimating, planning and cost effectiveness<\/li>\n
  • Timely execution and responsiveness of services<\/li>\n
  • Quality and reliability of service<\/li>\n
  • Detailed documentation, verified service and ease of communication<\/li>\n
  • 24\/7 emergency response<\/li>\n
  • Expertise and professionalism<\/li>\n
  • Certifications (Certified Snow Professional, etc.), best practices and standards of education<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    It is reasonable for you to expect your winter service provider to be able to provide all of the items detailed above with reliability and in a professional manner.
    \nMPS Property Services Ltd. is proud to be a long-time leader in the Snow & Ice Industry; with continual improvement, ongoing education and industry best practices at the forefront of our operations. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns that you may have.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Aerate the lawn-<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0as the temperatures start to decrease the grass will slow down, however moist soil encourages strong root development.<\/li>\n
    2. Fertilizer-<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0high phosphorus mix around 12-25-12 will encourage root growth, meaning you\u2019ll have a greener lawn in the early spring.\n
    3. Final Mow-<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0on the last cut of the season, trim down to 1 \u00bc inches. Shorter grass in the fall prevents debris from getting caught and slows disease growth.<\/li>\n
    4. Collect leaves<\/u><\/strong><\/li>\n
    5. Plant shrubs-<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0planting shrubs in the fall gives them a head start.<\/li>\n
    6. Plant spring bulbs-\u00a0<\/u><\/strong>such as tulips, daffodils\u2026<\/li>\n
    7. Trim dead limbs<\/u><\/strong><\/li>\n
    8. Cut back\u00a0perennials<\/u><\/strong><\/li>\n
    9. Mulch young plants-<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0Mulch adds insulation and\u00a0protection from frost damage.<\/li>\n

      \nThe days are getting shorter and\u00a0the kids have\u00a0headed back to school, it can only mean that fall is upon us! The change in seasons always brings an air of excitement, new decor, recipes, and flowers in the garden.
      \nHere in the office we have been busy hiring fall staff to replace the students who have left for school, as well as getting\u00a0prepared\u00a0for the winter season. To celebrate the summer employees, we held the first MPS BBQ. It was a great afternoon and allowed our employees\u00a0to socialize with managers and office staff in a relaxed setting.
