Featured Work

Halff provided planning and landscape architecture services for Lake Leander Lakewood Destination Park. The park is designed to be the largest and most natural park in Leander, Texas, carefully weaving through the natural vegetation and beauty the site has to offer. It includes both a playground and nature play area, large splash pad, dog park, fishing pier, several miles of trails and much more, making it perfect for people of all ages.

Tampa’s Twin

Halff opened a new office in Temple Terrace near Tampa, Florida. Located less than 20 miles away from Halff’s Tampa office, this expansion into Florida’s west coast will enable Halff to serve clients with our SUE/utility coordination, surveying, water/wastewater and transportation services.

HCI Updates

Twenty-seven San Antonio employees competed in the 2023 San Antonio Sports Corporate cup. The two-day event invites companies of all sizes and specialties to compete in a variety of events while contributing to good causes.

The team won eighth place out of 30 teams! “I’m very proud of our office and staff that participated, and even prouder of where we finished as a first-time competitor,” said San Antonio Operations Manager Edward Herolt.

Halff delivered HCI donations to San Antonio Food Bank (left), Haven for Hope (right) and South Texas Blood & Tissue (not pictured), landing them first place in the charity challenge.

Employees from Halff’s Austin and Austin South offices teamed up to make mini meatloaves, mac and cheese, and mashed potatoes for dinner at Ronald McDonald House Charities.
