Decades of landscape
craftsmanship

Originally founded in 1955 by Otis Hawkins, the company quickly became a trusted name in the Dallas–Fort Worth landscape scene, shaping the region’s commercial and civic environments for more than five decades. When Otis retired in 2012, his son stepped in to lead the business through a new era—honoring the legacy while reimagining the future. As part of this transition, the company was restructured and renamed, giving rise to SRH Landscapes and SRH Trees, with the new initials paying tribute to two beloved family dogs, Scout and Reba Hawkins, who both left a lasting mark on the Hawkins family and the land they nurtured.

Today, SRH combines time-tested experience with a comprehensive, modern approach to commercial landscaping. From large-scale installations to long-term maintenance, the full-time SRH team delivers reliable, compliance-ready results that enhance communities, support client goals, and withstand the test of time. Whether it’s a municipal park, a civic plaza, or a corporate campus, SRH brings the same level of care, craftsmanship, and personal pride to every project—just as Otis did more than 70 years ago.

Otis Hawkins believed that landscaping was more than a business—it was a calling to serve the communities of Texas. From the scorching summers to unexpected freezes, he understood the unique challenges of North Texas soil and climate, and took immense pride in creating outdoor spaces that thrived despite them. Otis taught his crews that every project, whether a small city park or a sprawling corporate campus, deserved the same commitment to excellence.

He’d often say that when you shape the land where people work, gather, and celebrate, you’re not just installing plants—you’re building the backdrop to their lives. This philosophy of honest work, fair dealing, and genuine care for the Texas landscape continues to guide every project we undertake, ensuring that the spaces we create today will serve communities for generations to come. We celebrate Otis’s legacy not through words alone, but through the enduring beauty of the landscapes we maintain and the trust we’ve earned over 70 years of experience. His spirit lives on in every precisely edged lawn, every thoughtfully placed tree, and every handshake that seals a promise to deliver nothing less than our best.

Hank the “H” in SRH is an 11 year old golden retriever who helps design the paw-fect landscape design. Outside of his official duties, Hank is passionate about fetch, belly rubs, duck hunting, swimming, and sneaking naps in the shade of freshly planted trees. With a nose for adventure and a heart full of loyalty, Hank keeps the crew smiling and reminds us all to enjoy the landscapes we work so hard to create.

When he’s not busy supervising landscaping projects from his favorite sunny spot, Hank can be found conducting quality control inspections of newly installed irrigation systems—usually by splashing through them with unbridled enthusiasm. His keen eye for detail extends to soil analysis (which involves a lot of digging and the occasional buried treasure hunt), and he’s particularly skilled at identifying the perfect locations for shade trees, having personally tested countless spots for optimal napping conditions. Hank believes that every great landscape should include at least one perfect stick, plenty of room to run, and a cozy corner where hardworking crews can take a well-deserved break with their four-legged supervisor.
