Charlie Hall, President and owner of Hall Enterprises, Inc. got his start mowing lawns as a kid growing up on Long Island.
His first customer was a neighbor who hired him to do his yard for $10 and then helped Charlie fix up a lawn mower so he could mow other neighbors’ yards, too. Little did Charlie know then that his childhood job would one day become a lucrative landscape business.
In 1989, Charlie decided to form Hall Enterprises, a full-service landscape company based in East Patchogue, New York. Hall Enterprises has come a long way since the days Charlie mowed neighbors’ lawns to make a few extra dollars. Today, the business provides landscape services to all five boroughs of New York City, and all areas of Long Island- “from Manhattan to Montauk”, as the company website says.
The sheer geographic spread is a testament to the company’s flexibility and adaptability. Hall Enterprises works in a variety of locales, from the concrete jungle of Manhattan to the vast rural wine country of Long Island. That means Charlie and his team also serve a diverse clientele with a wide range of projects, from corporations to high-end residences and from million-dollar municipal contracts to backyard pools- and everything in between.
Charlie does much more than mow lawns now. His team performs lawn renovations, landscape installations and maintenance, and water features, hardscape, lighting, irrigation, drainage, and snow removal and plowing. It’s a business dedicated to getting the job done.
GOING GREEN
Hall Enterprises, Inc. has “gone green” for the benefits of our environment. Study after study has confirmed that global warming is already occurring. These changes are affecting our health and quality of life every day. Our Green roof or garden program can bring relief to the negative changes being made to our earth today. These self contained portable units can be arranged and rearranged as the building owner sees fit. Green roofs have many benefits to consider for the building owner, the community, and the planet. Additionally, plants pull heat out of the building and dissipate it into the atmosphere through the process of transfer-evaporation.
Green roof assemblies provide an additional layer of insulation during the winter months. These characteristics allow building owners to realize energy savings year after year. Consider the global impact of urban heat islands and the resulting disruption of weather patterns. Increased green space will substantially reduce these heat pockets as they help to remove pollution from the air and rain. The plants and the growth media of green roof systems act as huge filtration systems helping to improve the air we breathe and the water that runs through our waterways. There is something to gain for each level of the built environment, the building owner, the designer, the community, and the planet. Green roofs just make sense and it is just a matter of time before they become as common place here in America as they are in Europe.

Once the Green Roof has grown in (about one season) the grid lines disappear to give the illusion of one green roof, without restrictions. You can move our green roofs in any pattern or place you desire.
