Woodland and hillside landscape design for Mill Valley.
Schedule my $300 consultationDesign-first landscape design for Mill Valley properties
At the base of Mount Tamalpais, Mill Valley is a place of redwood canyons, dappled light, and wooded hillside homes. We design landscapes that belong in that setting — natural, water-wise, and thoughtfully fire-conscious.
Mill Valley's redwood canyons mean shade, fog, and cool, damp pockets alongside sunnier ridges — so plant selection is highly site-specific. We design shade-tolerant woodland gardens, manage drainage and creekside conditions, and make wooded lots usable and beautiful.
Much of Mill Valley sits in the wildland-urban interface at the foot of Mount Tam, so fire-wise design — defensible space, hardscape buffers, thoughtful placement — is built into the plan from the start.

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.
