Refined landscape design for St. Helena's upvalley estates.
Schedule my $300 consultationDesign-first landscape design for St. Helena properties
St. Helena sits in the warm heart of the upper Napa Valley, where heritage oaks, wine-country estates, and long hot summers set the tone. We design full-property master plans that feel timeless and unmistakably of this place — elevated, cohesive, and built to thrive in upvalley heat.
The upvalley runs several degrees hotter than the city of Napa, so plant selection and irrigation intent have to be deliberate — heat-loving, water-wise palettes that read as lush without waste. We design around existing oaks and mature trees, protecting root zones while creating usable, beautiful outdoor rooms beneath them.
St. Helena's estate properties are made for entertaining and for privacy in equal measure. Our plans balance the two — screening and structure where you want seclusion, open flow and lighting where you want to gather — with materials and finishes specified to match the level of the home.

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.
