					  <description><![CDATA[First impressions last&#8212;especially when it comes to real estate. Beyond its architecture, construction and natural setting, nothing is as critical to a property&#8217;s image from the outside as its landscaping. As a result, owners and managers of buildings and developments can take steps from the start to create a landscape plan with extraordinary impact throughout the seasons. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[The poet Joyce Kilmer wrote, &#8220;I think that I shall never see/A poem lovely as a tree,&#8221; and many people share that sentiment. Trees bear fruit, offer shade under their leafy branches and provide a convenient tethering point for hammocks. They provide homes for wildlife and beautify our landscapes. There&#8217;s also the little matter of producing the air we breathe and regulating the planet&#8217;s climate.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[One of the first things that a new homeowner learns is that &#8216;water is your enemy,&#8217; because there are so many ways that water can ruin or destroy home and property. A leak can cause ceilings to chip away, pipes to burst, and pools of water to collect inside. Water can seep into rugs or behind walls, and cause mold to develop. But it&#8217;s not just inside where water can wreak havoc. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Here comes spring, and it might be nice to improve the look of things around your association&#8217;s grounds with some new flowers, shrubs, or trees. With the dizzying array of plants to choose from, selecting the right ones can be a daunting challenge, and a visit to the local nursery can leave you with more questions than answers. Before you go, it&#8217;s a good idea to sort through the various options: perennial or annual, deciduous or evergreen, high maintenance or low maintenance, early bloom or late bloom&#8230; these are just a few of the factors to be considered.]]></description>

					  <link>http://njcooperator.com/articles/235/1/Does-Your-Uneven-Sidewalk-Need-Mudjacking/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[Years ago, the only remedy for uneven sidewalks or foundations was what pros in the business call "rip-and-repour," which means tearing out the old pavement slab and pouring a new one&#8212;and spending a lot of time and money doing it. But nowadays, rip-and-repour has been replaced with a process called "mudjacking"&#8212;also sometimes called "slabjacking"&#8212;a process that was used for years by highway and heavy industry contractors to level cracked, sunken, uneven pavement.]]></description>

					  <title><![CDATA[The Basics of Swimming Pool Maintenance]]></title>

					  <description><![CDATA[Summer is coming, and with it the scorching hot weather our tri-state area is notorious for. Many buildings and homeowners associations, however, have swimming pools on-site that help take some of the bite out of the hotter months. Swimming facilities are great for socializing, getting exercise, and surviving the heat, but there's a lot of maintenance, upkeep, and outright science to keeping a pool functioning as a pleasant, much-appreciated amenity. How do the contractors who maintain the pool do their job? Pool maintenance, whether at a condo, a YMCA, a summer camp or a country club, isn't as simple as it might appear to the layman. It's serious business. ]]></description>
