Hawkins Landscape & Outdoors

We're making progress! Some concrete work as we move our customer's sidewalk for a more modern look.

Demo day earlier this week. You're going to want to follow the progress of this front and backyard transformation!

Wishing all a safe and happy 4th of July!

One of the most frequent requests we receive is to provide a solution on one, or both sides of a house where grass has died due to shade and has become a “muddy mess”! Here is a before and after!

This beautiful Whales Tongue agave in the first picture was part of a large project we did in 2015……. Fast forward to 2024 and behold the size and magnificence of this awesome plant! It has lived through numerous arctic blasts, droughts and winter storm URI of 2021! Plants are investments and this makes us soooooo happy to see that the homeowners love and care for their plants 💚💚💚

We all took pause to watch the eclipse…….Such a cool experience!

We enjoyed a company outing Sat evening to see the final game of the season for the Dallas Sidekicks. We love that we can have fun right in our own Allen area at the CUTX event center!

If you've been thinking about updating your yard, we'd love to design something special for you.

Blake and Jill keep our customer updated during their landscape project. We also like to educate our customers on how to care for their new plants.

We're hard at work getting a project started in Allen. If you're looking to update your landscaping this spring, call us today for a quote!

Rhonda does an incredible job helping our customers feel confident in their project by answering questions and guiding them through the process.

The landscape design process is a crucial part of making your dream yard a reality.

The weather forecast is calling for overnight below freezing temperatures starting Friday night (1/12) and will stay below freezing during the day starting Mon, the 15th, until Wed, the 17th. As a reminder, watering your landscape (not necessary on the lawn) is extremely important to protect the plants prior to the temperature drop. We recommend a back to back soak, i.e. 10-15 min, then an hour later, water again for 10-15 min. After you have watered, we recommend that you turn your sprinkler system off until the temps rise above freezing.

Here is a list of some tender leafed plants that we recommend be covered with cloth/blankets (DO NOT USE PLASTIC OR TARPS OF ANY KIND AS IT WILL BURN YOUR PLANTS). This is not a comprehensive list, just a few examples. If you have questions about specific plants, please email or call us.

We recommend covering:
Azaleas
Loropetalums
Abelias
Pittosporums
Japanese Yew
Rosemary
Pansies if planted in pots (the ones planted in the ground should be fine)
Boxwoods or Sunshine Ligustrums that are less than one year old.
*Palm Trees (wrap the trunk)

Trees and Hollies are ok and don't need covering (this includes Japanese Maples).

If you anticipate needing help covering plants, please let us know by 10am tomorrow (Thursday, 1/11) so we can appropriately schedule the crew to come by. We do ask that you provide the cloth material, however, we do have a limited amount of landscape cloth available if you are unable to procure your own.

Cheers to the New Year, a new logo and a new team photo! We continue to embrace the essence of nature as we head into 2024, just as we have for the past 35 years. Our new logo symbolizes growth, beauty and craftsmanship that we bring to every landscape project, large or small. Stay tuned for an exciting journey ahead with our enhanced brand identity.

We always love hearing about new plant developments being launched onto the market. We are not trying to skip over the holidays, but this makes us excited for Spring 2024!

This “Citrus Mix” pansy blend is right on point! And the cabbage looks great too 😊 (Installation was done in November)

Are you a tree hugger?!? We certainly are! 🌳🍁🍂🌲 It is always a good time to take care of your trees. They are an investment on your property! This morning, we started off with a tree fertilization for this 45 year-old red oak. It has seen some struggles with a fungus AND with the weather events over the past several years, it was time to give it some extra care. This tree has been under a fertilization program for the past two years. We have seen overall improvement, albeit slowly but it is so worth it! It is majestic and beautiful and we plan to keep it that way 🌳 It is also an integral part of an outdoor living space for this home. The shade is a must have!

Starting December off with a beautiful new landscape in McKinney! Are you looking to upgrade your landscape from what your home builder did? Give us a call 📞
