Design-first landscape design for Fairfax properties

Fairfax sits at the top of the Ross Valley, surrounded by open space and Mount Tamalpais watershed land, with cottages along the creeks and homes tucked into wooded hillsides. We design gardens that feel natural and work hard.

Fairfax lots are often shady, steep, and right against wildland, with deer in most gardens. We design deer-resistant, shade-tolerant planting, defensible space near the house, and terraces and drainage that hold a hillside together through winter storms.

We keep the town's relaxed, natural character: native and Mediterranean palettes, stone and wood rather than slick finishes, and outdoor rooms placed in the sunny pockets a wooded lot does have.

Better Than DIY
When we decided to remove our swimming pool and redesign our backyard, we planned to do it ourselves. After we couldn't agree on designs or scope, we hired Hall Landscape Design. Ian incorporated our ideas and his expertise into a design that exceeded our expectations. He was pleasant, flexible with changes, and stayed in communication throughout. Highly recommend.

Clear Plan + Smooth Execution
Ian and his team did a wonderful job. He created a personalized, functional space, gave multiple options, and delivered a detailed plan any contractor could use. After design, his team connected us with reputable contractors for bids. Highly recommend.
