MPS Summer Staff ’16<\/p><\/div>\n

The days are getting shorter and\u00a0the kids have\u00a0headed back to school, it can only mean that fall is upon us! The change in\u00a0seasons always brings\u00a0an air of excitement, new decor, recipes and flowers in the garden. In this issue we\u00a0have\u00a0included some\u00a0important\u00a0steps that should be taken in the fall to ensure your\u00a0grass and gardens will\u00a0wake-up\u00a0healthier\u00a0next spring, as well as some fall decor inspiration and a delicious fall recipe.<\/p>\n

Here 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. \u00a0It was a great afternoon and allowed our employees\u00a0to socialize with managers and office staff in a relaxed setting

Fall Turf Care:Aeration & Overseeding\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n

After a hot, dry summer, like the one we have just experienced, Core Aeration <\/em><\/strong>and Overseeding<\/em><\/strong> are two easy ways to help heal lawns that have been damaged by summer drought, diseases, insects and even heavy foot traffic.
\nCore aeration<\/strong> is the process where small cores of soil are removed mechanically from the lawn to reduce soil compaction and promote root growth.
