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!

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

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 don't write Yelp reviews very often, but when I have an exceptional experience, I like to share it so that others may benefit. We engaged Ian Hall about 2 months ago to create a master plan for our backyard. Our yard is currently a disaster and very small. We had a laundry list of desires - waterfall, stream, feet-dipping pools, pergola, fire feature, hardscape, built-in benches, and bocce court. We said we wanted a natural "Sierra Nevada" feel for the water features, but also a contemporary/clean/Japanese vibe for the rest of the yard. It would take someone creative and brilliant

We interviewed several Landscape Designers and after having Ian come out my wife and I agreed that Ian was our designer. We are so glad we picked Hall Landscape Design. From start to finish Ian was on time, professional, and listened to our ideas and wanted our input. He was happy to tweak and redesign things when we couldn't make up our minds. We went through several iterations of our plans, and Ian was always accommodating and innovative. We are now in the bidding and moving forward phase of our backyard and Ian continues to help us and be available to us. Ian had some amazing ideas
