Sausalito clings to steep hillsides above the bay, where views are everything and flat ground is scarce. We design terraced, view-framing landscapes that turn challenging Sausalito lots into beautiful, usable outdoor rooms.
Sausalito's steep, view-oriented sites demand real design discipline — grading, retaining, drainage, and terracing to create level space without blocking the bay and Golden Gate views homeowners prize. We plan every level to work with the slope, not against it.
The mild, Mediterranean, wind-influenced climate suits a refined, water-wise palette that frames rather than fights the view. We coordinate the build with contractors experienced on Marin's demanding hillside sites.

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.
