Hi Neighbor!

One night last month I looked across the dinner table at my 11-year-old daughter and sighed. She was slumped in her chair with both elbows on the table, and she clearly hadn’t gotten the “don’t talk with your mouth full” memo. I warned her that poor table manners could put a serious damper on her dating prospects, but she just shrugged and told me (with her mouth full of food) that boys are gross anyway. As I glanced to my right and left, I realized my other two daughters weren’t faring much better in the manners department. Where did I go so wrong? I tried to recall if my parents bugged me about my table manners. I remember my mom enrolled me in an after-school club in elementary school called “Silver Spoons” that taught kids how to answer the phone politely (so quaint!), set the table and not completely mortify their parents at a restaurant. The most exciting part was when the local paper came to do a story on the class, and yours truly was on the front page! After the class ended I forgot everything we learned, and my mom told everyone within earshot that it was a complete waste of money. Sigh.

Things are looking up, however... READ MORE

Living the dream,

At Hunter Hayes Landscape Design, each project is as unique as the people we’re working for.

We unite homes with settings, and blend space with place. Nature inspires us. From foundation plantings and formal gardens to custom patios and walkways, our crews have installed them all. We’ll start with an onsite consultation to discuss your landscape needs and then provide custom designs and project estimates to create just the garden space you’re looking for.

Benefits of Professional Landscaping for Your Home
▪ Older residential landscapes are high maintenance, as they have greatly outgrown their space and require constant trimming. Start over with a new low maintenance landscape.
▪ Landscapes increase both curb appeal and value to your home.
▪ Landscapes and gardens improve mental health and well-being.
▪ Gardens and patios can create an outdoor extension of your home.

From a simple planting bed around your company signage, to building entrance and foundation landscapes, we can help create a more inviting and enticing space. We give your business curbside appeal and leave a lasting impression on your guests

Benefits of Professional Landscaping for Your Business
▪ New and regularly maintained plantings at a commercial property will provide value to both tenants and patrons alike.
▪ Properly managed plantings will set your commercial properties apart from the competition.
▪ Well maintained commercial properties contribute to an overall healthy community landscape.
