Services
Feeling overwhelmed or pressured to get the design finished is not the state of mind we want you to be in while going through this process! Once we have the Stage 2 Preliminary meeting, if needed we will schedule 1-3 follow-up meetings to get your plan perfect. The only way extra charges will apply is if the client decides to have a major change to the concept during the process such as adding a pool for example.
Ian was great to work with and did an excellent job creating a thoughtful and detailed landscaping design for our place. He is very knowledgeable of plant species and offering creative solutions. I was researching landscape designers/architects for a few months before I was fortunate enough to find Ian Hall.
The initial Consultation starts at $300. There are some areas that are even higher because of distance, such as extremely rural areas. The initial site visit fee may be waived if the design contract is signed at that visit. Yes, there is a $100 same-day cancellation fee. Please notify the office or your designer at least by the day before your appointment if you need to cancel for any reason.

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

One of the best, if not the best, contractor experience I have ever had has been with Ian.
Both my front and back yards were in bad shape, with the front barely acceptable and the rear yard never properly improved.
When I decided I wanted to launch a major re-landscaping, I quickly realized I had no clue about any of the major decision points.
I interviewed a few landscape architects, none impressed me. Then, through a referral, I was given Ian's name. As soon as I met him I knew I could work with him. When he came back with the preliminary plans, I was blown away with the both his ideas

"My wife and I learned about Ian Hall's services on January/2017 through a web search. In our first meeting, we explained to Ian our Back-Yard dream, Ian took note of the concept and answered all our technical questions. During a good month of hard work, Ian demonstrated his knowledge, experience, and professionalism when he took our backyard dream and transformed it into a project that fit our tropical style blended with a Mediterranean taste. Once the design was finalized and we started the execution phase of the project, Ian always replied to all our questions and was willing to provide

We purchased a new home in Napa complete with a dirt backyard. Ian listened to our thoughts on landscaping and came up with a design that made our dream backyard come true. Ian was very solicitous about our ideas even when we changed our minds about design. We ended up framing our finished design and it is hanging in our living room. People are always commenting on how wonderful our backyard looks. Thanks Ian!

I recently worked with Beckie Kover in the Sacramento area to create an outdoor living space for our backyard. Beckie was attentive to my ideas and incorporated them into the overall design while finding ways to complement and improve upon them.She helped take my vision and bring it to life with many other features I didn't consider to create a fantastic plan that I can use to hire the right contractor. I would definitely consider hiring her for your landscape design needs!

I found Ian Hall on the internet and took a chance due to the locals (Davis) being busy. Ian listened to our prelim vision for our typical-sized Davis backyard and was able to spec/create a space that we are excited now to construct. He gave us constructive input on things that would make our yard smaller, and emphasized a focal point from the sliding back door. He has an artistic flare and I can't wait to see our low maintenance water recycling urn in place (the focal point!). Ian also understands the soil type/issues, and talked to us about our existing trees. His price was close to

I've worked with Hall Landscape Design on multiple projects, both new construction and remodel. Ian has great vision & communicates that vision clearly. His encyclopedic plant knowledge and design sense make him my go-to designer when a landscape overhaul is needed. Ian is particularly skilled in hillside/mountain landscapes, and native species to achieve a lush, natural look. As a bonus, he's one of the nicest guys you'll meet!
I've posted some pictures of select projects.

Excellence is what we were hoping for and that's exactly what we received from Ian Hall and his design services. Me and my boyfriend have a vacation home up valley and knew a lot of what we wanted but had no idea how to put the yard together... Ian did that and then some! He brought some real unique ideas to the table that really tied the house and the landscape together with an amazing sense of style and was obviously listening to all our ramblings about what we wanted. Oh and the planing part of the plan.... Kinda an afterthought at the beginning of the plan for us but it is now it is

We have a lot of property - with almost no topsoil, and loads of boulders, some steep hillsides and plenty of hungry deer at our weekend home in the Napa Valley. We want to live here in the valley in concert with nature, not battling it. Any landscaping here makes for a challenging project. It takes some serious knowledge of native soil conditions, native plants, and ever present concerns about water usage, to come up with a viable design and plan. Enter Ian Hall, who understood our needs and fully understands the soil conditions and all the concerns we have. With his beautiful, natural design
