Our Story

Why H.H. Hoy exists.

H.H. Hoy Outdoor Living was founded by Michael Hoy — a landscape professional with more than 10 years of experience in sales, project development, production, and customer relationships.

After years in the industry, Mike saw the same problems repeat: vague pricing, contractors who overpromised and underdelivered, homeowners left wondering why they could not get a straight answer. He started H.H. Hoy to offer something different — a company where honesty is not a marketing line but a working standard.

H.H. Hoy partners with Zach Strong, who brings deep plant knowledge, design insight, and installation expertise to every project. Together, they provide the personal involvement and consistent accountability that most homeowners can no longer find.

I am not here to sell you something you do not need. I am here to understand the problem, tell you the truth, and help you decide whether we are the right team to solve it.

The H.H. Hoy Name

Three generations. One standard.

The name H.H. Hoy honors three generations of the Hoy family: Harmon, John, and Michael. It represents more than family history. It is a reminder that reputation is built over time, that your name should mean something, and that the work you leave behind matters.

H.H. Hoy Outdoor Living carries that standard forward through honest relationships, exceptional outdoor work, and a company built to last.
