Fall 2025
Friends,
Fall! We made it through the summer! The cooler temps are tickling and we are confident that the sweltering summer heat is in our rear view mirror. With the arrival of fall there is more enjoyable outside time and the promise of relaxation amidst busy school and work schedules. Halloween is blowing its first boos in the wind with October promises of ghosts and goblins. Pumpkins are appearing on porches and candy is lining the store shelves in bulk!
Trees are turning again with their brilliant colors before they drop their copious amounts of leaves. Now is the time for fall installations of sod, flowers, plants, shrubs, and drainage installations to prepare for the fall rains and even post Christmas temps.
This is also the time for FALL CLEAN-UPS. Do you have a yard that is neglected, or a rental property, or new house that you are moving to that needs a fresh start? Are you interested in starting a new landscaping project and need a clean yard palate to begin the process? A solid clean-up will start a new project 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 fall!
Marcus Sommers,
Horticulturist and Principal

Landscaping Tip
Grass Seed Installation and Aeration
The weather is cooler. The hottest 92+ degree temps have fled. Now is the time to be thinking of having your yard dethatched if you are planning on installing grass seed this fall. The best time is late September-early October. Thinning out the yard will prepare the grass bed more effectively for the seed. Topsoil is at times also installed at the same time grass seed is strewn.
When do you aerate and what is it? Aeration is a process of introducing air into the soil that will help release excess stale air or moisture that can cause future fungi to take hold. It also helps water reach the roots of the developing grass. Aeration needs to be implemented after the topsoil and grass seed is installed - 2-3 weeks after the seed is strewn depending on the lawn.
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."
