Hi Neighbor!
The holiday get-togethers are approaching, and our extended family celebrates at our house. They are our political polar opposites. There’s no bridging the gap because there’s no discussion. Everyone’s cordial but acutely aware that conversational landmines need to be circumvented when we get together. It reminds me of “try not to think of an elephant.” Not easy is it? We talk but nothing is on the table that is outside our own personal spheres of experience and of course, dinner.
It’s uncomfortable being on guard. We’re all consciously sticking to safe topics like recent books we’ve read and how the kids are doing and avoiding politics.

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.
