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.
Happy New Year!
January 2026
Friends,
Father Time brought in the NEW YEAR on time as promised! 2026 is our 6th year of full-time services in a 25+ yr horticulture and landscaping career. It brings new opportunities, new hopes, and celebrations. This year marks America's 250th Birthday-America250. It is also the year of the HORSE with strength, independence, and passion marking its major traits. Closer to home the Atlanta Botanical Garden turns 50 and the FIFA World Cup will be here in June!
January is a prime project time for us. What are your 2026 landscaping and gardening needs? Do you have a neglected yard, or a rental property, or new house that you are moving to that needs a fresh start? The Atlanta World Cup Season is 6 months away. Do you need landscaping for a personal home or rental house? Does your yard need drainage before the winter rains set in? Are you interested in starting a new landscaping project and need a clean yard palate to begin the process? Get the ball rolling for your spring - fall outdoor time with winter landscaping time with us.
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 and follow up effectively.
Happy New Year!

Horticulturist and Principal

Winter Residential Yard Clean-ups
Yes or No?
YES! I often get the question, "Is a leaf and debris clean-up December - March a healthy event for a winter yard?" Yes, it is. When I do a leaf and debris clean-up in the wintertime I make sure to mulch the leaves and cover garden bed areas containing plants, flowers, bulbs, and shrubs to protect the areas from winter temps and storms. Pruning and clearing out branches, sticks, rocks and other yard debris prepares the winter yard to hibernate safely until spring.
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."
