At Marin's northern end, Novato is warmer and drier than the county's coastal south, with a mix of suburban neighborhoods and larger semi-rural lots. We design full-property master plans that make the most of Novato's sun and space.
Novato's warm, dry summers make water-wise design a natural fit — heat-tolerant, low-water palettes that stay handsome through the season with efficient irrigation intent. On larger lots, we design outdoor living, structure, and lighting that turn open space into cohesive, usable rooms.
With wildland nearby, fire-wise zoning and thoughtful plant placement are built into the plan. We balance resilience with the relaxed, elevated look Novato homeowners want — then coordinate the build with trusted contractors.

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.
