Reviving your lawn in the aftermath of an historic winter

Ahhh!  What is left of my lawn?  As spring rain and sun wash away 2015’s record setting snow accumulations, homeowners are reminded that they have a lawn underneath.  The initial excitement of this discovery is short-lived.  Many lawn enthusiasts are overcome with anxiety surrounding the health of their home’s greenest asset.

Fear not.  Mike McDonald, Horticulturalist at Lawn Doctor of Greater Boston explains “consistent snow cover is less detrimental to your lawn constant freezing and thawing. In fact, damage from wind and cold is reduced by this seasonal blanket.”

While that is good news, additional steps should be taken to get your lawn into mid-season form notes McDonald. Once the snow has melted and your lawn is dry try gently raking it. When puzzled neighbors remind you what season it is, you can inform them that raking the lawn at the beginning of spring will stimulate the dormant grass blades and allow for air, sunlight, and nutrient flow. It is also important to remove any dead or decaying debris from your lawn which can inhibit recovery and new growth.

While raking you may notice you have certain ‘problem areas.’  The heavy masses of snow are likely to have caused “Snow Mold”.  These are parts of your lawn that may be dead or experiencing mold problems.  McDonald clarifies, “We will probably see the most Snow Mold that we’ve ever seen.”  However, don’t assume grass is dead if it looks a bit mangy after this tough season.”

Grass does not change color when it dies. Brown grass is simply hibernating.  The ugly appearance does not represent the overall plant and root health.

To check the vitality of any patch of grass simply tug on it. If it stays firm in the ground, it is alive and has a healthy root system.  If it comes out of the ground easily, you may want to reseed that area.

Raking your lawn will also help ward away pinkish fungus.  After raking the fungus, the sun will take care of the rest.

Sweeten your soil. Nitrogen and Calcitic Lime are your lawn’s meat and potatoes. Applying nitrogen to your lawn is essential to recovery after a long winter. Mike McDonald recommends 4-5 pounds of a high-Nitrogen fertilizer per 1000 square foot.  This simple step will increase the resilience of your lawn, making it less susceptible to disease and drought. Calcitic Lime adjusts the PH of the soil which makes the soil more absorbent of essential nutrients and increases the microbial activity of the soil.

No need to panic, a bit of attention and effort and your lawn will become the showcase and playground it has been in previous summers.

Lawn Doctor is focused on working in harmony with the science of nature. Every service is designed to boost natural growth. This goes beyond the use of simple, green products. The company’s proprietary technology allows its lawn professionals to precisely measure and apply the optimum blend of nutrients and weed control – doing the right thing for your lawn and the environment.

A healthy lawn creates oxygen, removes dust and dirt, and filters water passing through its roots leaving pollutants behind and many more benefits. Lawn Doctor of Boston, the South Shore, and Cape Cod is a local, family owned and operated business serving over 6,000 homeowners in the Greater Boston region.  Main offices are located in Hanover, MA.

Kevin Dubois, a Scituate resident and CEO of Lapels Dry Cleaning, recently co-authored Entrepreneurial Insanity in the Dry Cleaning Business with Roger McManus.

DATELINE:  HANOVER, MA…

Over the past decade, Lapels Dry Cleaning CEO Kevin Dubois has trained dozens of new and existing dry cleaning franchise owners. During that time, Entrepreneur magazine named Lapels Dry Cleaning one of the “Top 50 New Franchises”.  In Entrepreneurial Insanity in the Dry Cleaning Business, Dubois and co-author Roger McManus have created a road map for current and prospective dry cleaners to achieve a greater level of success in an industry that, arguably, has produced more millionaires than any other.

“What we’ve found in training Lapels Dry Cleaning franchise owners is there are certain skills you can learn to successfully run a dry cleaning business, regardless of what you previously have done,” said Dubois. “I always thought it would make for a good book. Fortunately, I met Roger and he agreed.”

Roger McManus is the author of Entrepreneurial Insanity: When Doing the Same Things Do Not Produce Different Results and co-author of Entrepreneurial Insanity in the Restaurant Business, Entrepreneurial Insanity in the Sign Business, and Entrepreneurial Insanity in the Tire Industry.

“Can your business operate without you being there or do you have to be on the clock 24/7? Many people dream of owning their own business but it ends up with the business owning them,” said McManus. “This book provides time-tested solutions on how to be a dry cleaning entrepreneur as opposed to a dry cleaning store owner—the book will show you the difference.”

Chapters include: Are You the Doer, the Overseer or the Entrepreneur?; What Are Your

“Anti-Success” Forces?; What Should You Hire You to Do?; How Do You Pick a Winning Team?; If You Aren’t There, Who’s Watching “The Store”?; So, What Will You Do With All This Free Time?; I Understand It, but What Do I DO?; and more. 

Entrepreneurial Insanity in the Dry Cleaning Business is available in paperback and sells for $19.95. Entrepreneurial Insanity in the Dry Cleaning Business is also available as a Kindle book for $9.99.

Georgia CALLS Reentry Program Welcomes 8 New Participants

Georgia CALLS IMG_1716

Georgia CALLS, the Georgia Center For Abundant Living Life Skills, a unique 501(c)3 non-profit helping high-risk, returning citizens make a successful transition from incarceration back into society as business entrepreneurs, recently welcomed eight new participants into their expanding program.

Based in Buford, Georgia CALLS is a reentry program in partnership with the Governor’s Office of Transition, Support & Reentry, the Georgia Department of Corrections, and Phillips Transitional Center that helps to curb recidivism and empower returning citizens to make a positive impact in their communities. The organization recently held a Recruiting Fair, which was well attended by their program partners and supporters, including the Department of Labor, numerous parole officers, the Gwinnett county detention center and others.

Eight new participants from Buford, Conyers, Grayson, Lawrenceville, and Norcross GA, who were released from prison within the last six months, have been accepted into the Georgia CALLS program. They have already completed orientation, which included a Key Ceremony where each new participant was presented with a personalized “blank key” that signified a key that would one day unlock their future business. The dedicated new recruits are currently in training and already fielding live calls at Georgia CALLS onsite call center as Customer Service Representatives.

“The Georgia CALLS reentry program gives individuals who are ready to take on a life-changing experience, the on-the-job training and life skills development needed in order to become the CEO of their lives,” explained Mark Mobley, the new Executive Director of the fast-growing Georgia CALLS. “We’ve had a chance to talk with our newest participants about current challenges and hear them dream about their future. They have each illustrated a desire and passion for an obtainable career. And in turn, we’ve made a commitment to each of them to walk side by side and help them accomplish their goals.”

Upon acceptance into the program, one participant stated, “I’m excited about the job/life skills classes the most. If I’m honest with myself, those are the types of classes that will really help someone like me.”

After working just two weeks in the call center, another new participant explained, “I believe the call center is a success because it’s teaching us how to be a people person. We’re learning how to smile on the inside and deal with our emotions better.”

Summer Recruitment Session

Recruitment will continue in June, when approximately 10 program seats will become available. Georgia CALLS accepts referrals of formerly incarcerated and state supervised individuals looking to get their life back on track after incarceration. The program includes life skills training and paid call center employment.

In support of The Georgia Prisoner Reentry Initiative (GA-PRI), Georgia CALLS is intentional with their selection process. Every individual is thoroughly evaluated during intake. Potential participants must meet requirements which include: have been released from prison within the last 12 months; have reliable transportation; is in compliance with all court-mandated requirements and conditions of parole and/or probation; and are available Monday through Friday during regular program and work hours, as well as other criteria.

According to one of Georgia CALLS’ successful reentry program participants, “I’ve been incarcerated for 11 years and there are some habits and ways that I picked up from being incarcerated that I had to break…but I always knew that I wanted an opportunity. Instead of saying it’s a job, it’s more like a program for life and I enjoy it more and more when I come here.”

Within the program, Georgia CALLS provides social services, which includes intensive case management and the implementation of TAP strategies; unrivaled and newly-developed job/life skills training; paid work experience at its inbound call center, created specifically for this initiative; and optional spiritual development to returning citizens who are seeking a life change.

“Places like Georgia CALLS are necessary because it’s an opportunity for a person who doesn’t have it together, really to get it together,” said another Georgia CALLS reentry program participant.

MARION, MA…

South Coast Improvement Company (SCI), a design-build general contractor serving New England and the Mid-Atlantic states, recently formed a retail division to better serve existing clients and prospects in the retail and restaurant industries.

“Over the years, we have demonstrated our expertise on renovation and new construction projects in healthcare, assisted living, education, and hospitality industries–and to a certain degree in the retail industry,” said Tom Quinlan, president of South Coast Improvement, Inc. “With the recent addition of key personnel, we believe we can deliver the same level of outstanding work and service to the retail industry.”

Newly hired Senior Project Manager David Godfrey will head the retail division. Godfrey began his career working for a major retailer as a construction manager before forming his own tenant improvement and renovation construction company in 1994.  That company specialized in the buildout of retail interiors on a national basis and successfully completed more than 500 projects ranging in value from $100,000 to $1,000,000. Godfrey’s past experience includes a client list featuring Starbucks, Jones Apparel Group, Tumi and Liz Claiborne Shoes and more.

“Construction delays have an even greater impact in the retail industry, particularly if it means  delaying the start of a new franchise or chain location,” said Godfrey. “South Coast Improvement’s process in working with assisted living and senior living centers–where you have to build in harmony with sensitive, day-to-day operations—will translate very well for success in the retail industry.”

South Coast Improvement utilizes Special Building Practices to ensure the comfort and safety of special needs of its clients and their tenants who occupy the spaces that are being renovated. South Coast Improvement’s experience, high standards of compliance, overall quality and their ability to complete projects on time and on budget, sets them apart from their competitors.

SelecTech, Inc., a leader in the manufacture of innovative flooring products from recycled materials, recently installed 6,000 square feet of its FreeStyle Biolock flooring at the Fresenius Medical Center in Ashland, Kentucky. The new flooring was installed on the ground floor of the Center’s dialysis center.

“Medical facilities like Fresenius are treating patients with serious medical conditions. Simply put, they do not have the luxury of down time while installing or replacing flooring,” said Thomas Ricciardelli, president of SelecTech. “Our flooring employs a patented interlocking technology that virtually eliminates the need for adhesives. You don’t even need to remove the existing floor or move machinery or furniture for extended periods of time. Essentially, we can undertake a job like the one at Fresenius with zero down time.”

FreeStyle BioLock tiles are made from 70 percent recycled materials and are 100 percent recyclable. Other BioLock features include: Enhanced ergonomics and sound reduction; meets CA 1350 indoor air quality protocol; third-party IAQ certification by MAS Certified Green; and more. FreeStyle BioLock flooring comes with a 10-year commercial wear warranty.

“For an organization like Fresenius, they have people coming in for dialysis treatments practically 24/7. Down time not only prevents somebody from receiving the care they need but costs our organization money. It really isn’t an option,” said Ricciardelli. “We came in and installed the new floor right over the old floor with zero down time. SelecTech’s interlocking tiles might cost more than other types of flooring but it enables our clients to make their money back in multiples on the install by not having any down time.”
