In Napa and Sonoma counties, fire safety isn’t just an option — it’s a necessity. Homeowners across Wine Country are looking for ways to protect their properties while still enjoying beautiful outdoor spaces. But who can create a design that blends defensible space principles with style and comfort?
At Hall Landscape Design, we specialize in fire-resistant landscaping that balances safety, sustainability, and beauty. From Calistoga to Glen Ellen, we’ve helped homeowners design outdoor environments that are both stunning and resilient.
Defensible Space by Design
A great fire-resistant landscape starts with smart layout. We design using defensible space principles — creating zones around your home with reduced fuel load, low-growing plants, and fire breaks like gravel, patios, or stone paths.
Planting with Fire Safety in Mind
Not all plants are created equal when it comes to fire risk. We choose species with high moisture content, low resin, and slower ignition rates — like manzanita hybrids, succulents, and California natives proven for fire zones. These plants reduce risk while adding seasonal interest.
Hardscape that Works as Fire Barriers
We integrate hardscape features like stone patios, gravel walkways, and retaining walls that double as fire breaks. These elements create safe zones, extend outdoor living, and reduce maintenance while making your home more defensible.
“Ian conceived a planting and hardscape design taking into account our home’s character and our living needs — including fire safety. The process evolved beautifully, and the final plans were detailed enough to guide contractors with confidence.” – John W., Napa
