Melissa Hall Garden Design

Gardens made for living

Melissa Hall

I’m a horticulturist and garden designer, and I believe that all great landscapes start with knowing the plants — not just how they look, but how they grow, how they perform, and how they’ll shape your property for years to come. I bring that knowledge to every landscape project and pair it with my commitment to clear, collaborative communication.

I work with homeowners across the Triangle and Sandhills of North Carolina who want a distinctive landscape that’s ecologically grounded, carefully considered, and a true reflection of how they live.

I earned a degree in Landscape Gardening from Sandhills Community College and gained incredible experience at Oak Spring Garden Foundation, working in the renowned gardens of Bunny Mellon.

Transforming a mature garden

Melissa’s new landscape design transformed our mature garden, reinvigorating the experience of coming home. Her thoughtful arrangement introduced an appealing variety of shapes, sizes, and colors that truly bring the entrance to life. Working with her was a pleasure, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to rejuvenate an overgrown landscape, restoring the charm of the home they originally fell in love with.

Wide Range of Knowledge Hugely Helpful

Moving from the Garden State to the Sandhills was a shock to my green thumb. Our old tobacco fields were stripped, barren, and dry. Clearly needed help with planning a rewilding to bring back wildlife and beauty. I asked many for ideas on whom might understand and support this vision. That is where Melissa comes in. Her wide range of knowledge—fine gardening, planning, being ecologically friendly, using natives, and having an eye for balance and beauty—was hugely helpful.
