THE STRAW HAT GARDENER
New Branch of MSLandscaping on its way!
Increased focus on specific gardening and horticulture skills along with watering schedules for existing or recently installed gardens and landscaped areas. This has always been included in my follow-ups with clients, but more of you are asking for the expertise. I look forward to sharing more on this new venture in the weeks to come.
December 2025
Friends,
December 1! Already! 21 Days of fall left! Santa is taking his practice sleigh runs by moonlight on the backs of leaves whipped up by the wind. Cooler temps have ushered in a prime time for planting! Fall is a great time to plant grass, install sod, install new design plans, and organics. Shrubs and trees planted in the fall root themselves well and thrive in the spring after the winter thaw.
Christmas trees with bright lights are popping up in windows and wreaths are finding their rightful places on holiday front doors. Do you need help with installing Christmas lights at your residence? Let us know. We have fair rates to get anyone in the holiday spirit!
Holiday CLEAN-UPS and drainage installations are underway. Do you have a neglected yard, or a rental property, or new house that you are moving to that needs a fresh start? Does your yard need drainage now that the rain has returned from an end of the summer drought? Are you interested in starting a new landscaping project and need a clean yard palate to begin the process? Clean-ups and drainage will get the ball rolling.
We specialize in effective, FREE consultations that allow face to face time with a client so that we are better able to understand their needs and answer their questions. In a world of text, email, and messenger, we prefer to talk directly with our clients.
Happy holidays!
Marcus Sommers,
Horticulturist and Principal

Christmas Tree Tip
Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree.....
I read this tip last year before I put my Christmas tree up and I thought, "Why not give it a try."
Bring your tree home and put it in its stand outside. Remove any light debris and tags and then get out the hose and wash off your tree. Yes, you read correctly - WASH OFF your tree. Doing so removes left over pollen, dead needles, debris, and an occasional creepy crawler. Leave it for a day to dry and you will immediately see a difference. The green needles will look brighter and the tree should have a strong Christmas needle smell.
What a difference! My tree stayed greener longer last year and there was LESS dropped needles. A win, win! Give it a try. You won't be disappointed!
Testimonials
"Marcus did a fantastic job on our front yard landscaping project. We had a tricky side yard under a big oak tree with big roots where we couldn't get anything to grow. He came up with a creative solution, and now the area is beautifully landscaped and complements the rest of the yard. Marcus worked with me on budget and preferred plants, and was willing to divide and use some plants I already had growing elsewhere. He was very knowledgeable and happy to answer questions about selecting plants and caring for the landscape."
