Landscape design for Marin's hillside and coastal-influenced homes.
Schedule my $300 consultationDesign-first landscape design for Marin properties
Marin County is a landscape of hills, redwoods, and coastal fog, where microclimates shift dramatically over short distances. We design full-property master plans that work with Marin's terrain and light — cohesive, refined outdoor living tuned to each property's exposure.
Marin's marine influence means fog, shade, and cool pockets alongside warm, sunny slopes — so plant selection has to be site-specific. We design palettes that thrive in Marin's conditions, from shade-tolerant woodland gardens to sunny, water-wise hillsides.
Steep lots and wildland edges are common here, so we build grading, drainage, and fire-wise zoning into the plan — turning challenging Marin topography into terraced, usable, beautiful outdoor rooms with the structure and lighting to enjoy them year-round.

Client Success Stories
Results that make you proud to host again
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.
Micheal Crawford
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.
Daniel Lebe
Ian is the landscape designer I prefer to work with on any project. I've worked with him for 20+ years, and he consistently brings fresh ideas that fit the client's requirements. He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about bringing people's dreams to life. No cookie-cutter designs here.
