I will say that Ian is amazing and he has done a great job designing our front yard, including the retaining wall, and the hog wire fence. He listened to what my wife and I wanted, and he hit all of the high points. GREAT JOB IAN!

I was able to have a planter behind my apartment landscaped by Hall Landscape Design. Ian Hall met with me and provided an accurate rendering of his proposal. Hall's team then implemented the design by clearing the planter, installing irrigation, drainage, lighting, and plants. The end result was phenomenal and exceeded my expectations. Becky kept me abreast of the timeline and helped with ordering water features. I am looking forward to using Hall Landscape Design for my next home.

We enjoyed working with Ian on our backyard project. Ian listened to what we wanted to accomplish with drought tolerant plantings and also added a water feature to our plans/thoughts. Obviously the Covid crisis delayed the project from start to finish, but that wasn't a huge concern given that we weren't going anywhere in a hurry as time has shown. The new design really picked up the appearance of the yard and has made it more inviting to sit outside and enjoy. Ian is very knowledgeable about plants, irrigation and design, and is a very likeable and easy to get along with. I would certianly recommend Ian and his company to others.

Ian did a wonderful job working with us on our landscape design. He listened to our input and developed a very viable plan witth the "right" plants/trees and flow. Additionally, he spent a day on the property during the construction to specify where different large rocks should go and found free dirt for us from another client. You and your property are in good hands with Ian.

I was searching throughout the internet for local landscape designers and was so glad that I found Hall Landscape Design. From the first call with Becky to multiple meetings with our associate Hannah, the experience has been absolutely first rate. Hannah was very attentive to our vision. She listened to our desires to create a peaceful, yet functional backyard. Hannah was very professional in her dealings with us and designed a beautiful and economical blueprint from which we could begin to envision our backyard oasis. My wife and I are so happy with Hall Landscape Design and we would, without hesitation, recommend them to anyone who needs help in creating their dream landscape.

We worked with Jim and he was very knowledgeable and friendly to work with. We will definitely work with them again if we need more backyard design ideas.
