"AYAH designed our entire yard, including walkways, retaining walls, landscape lighting, and a planting plan. We appreciated how AYAH worked closely with us and recommended a wonderful mix of native plants, shrubs, and trees. We have enjoyed seeing how these complement each other as the seasons pass!"

“A Yard & A Half did a great job on the walls. They look great! The walls and steps have weathered the past year's constant deluges quite nicely without puddles or indoor or outdoor floods.”

“On Saturday I was in the vegetable garden planting… I looked up through the pergola into the side garden and it was absolutely perfect. It looked like something out of a magazine.”

"In 2019, I purchased a neglected home with an overgrown yard in need of major restoration, including water mitigation. Realizing I needed professional help, I turned to A Yard & A Half—and it was the best decision I could have made! With Clay’s expert project management, Barbara’s creative landscape design, and the skilled work of Saul, Jose, and Gonzalo, my yard went from the worst on the street to a stunning space that brings me daily joy. It has even inspired me to learn more about native plant and pollinator gardening. Thank you, AYAH!"
