Fall is one of the best seasons for new grass growth. With cooler temperatures creating optimal conditions, it's the perfect time to rejuvenate your lawn. Seeding helps build turf density, fill in bare or bald areas, and is a key step in maintaining a healthy lawn. When combined with organic fertilizer, compost topdressing, and lawn aeration services, overseeding can transform your property in just weeks. 

With kids back in school, many parents have raised concerns about the ongoing cases of Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) and West Nile Virus (WNV) across Massachusetts and New England. EEE and WNV are mosquito-borne illnesses, and children may be at an increased risk of contracting these illnesses. In response, some towns have closed parks and fields, implemented a recommended curfew, and adjusted town-sponsored after-school activity start times. Given the risk in many areas, families should educate themselves about the dangers of these viruses and take proactive measures to protect themselves and their children.
