With restrictions that seemed to change daily, there was a lot of uncertainty and sales were slow from April through May. However early summer brought about a boom in landscape design consultations.<\/p>\n<p>We soon discovered that most people realized the COVID-19 lockdown was going to be a long-term situation; and that meant no traveling, events, attractions, camp, or even sports for the foreseeable future. Our customers were instantly spending more time than ever at home and were eager to create outdoor living spaces and landscapes that suited their new lifestyle. Whether it was creating a safe place for their kids to play outdoors, or installing outdoor entertainment spaces, patios, firepits, or pool installations, our customers wanted to maximize their useable living space.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6037\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/MPS-Image-1.png\" alt=\"beautiful backyard with pool\" width=\"100%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aboutmps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/MPS-Image-1.png 800w, https:\/\/aboutmps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/MPS-Image-1-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/aboutmps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/MPS-Image-1-768x384.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>MPS took action to protect the health of our employees and customers while continuing to offer <a href=\"https:\/\/aboutmps.com\/residential-landscaping\/landscape-design\/\">residential landscape design and build<\/a>, as well as<a href=\"https:\/\/aboutmps.com\/commercial-services\/grounds-maintenance\/\"> commercial grounds maintenanc<\/a>e services.
