Marin County homeowners know the value of water-wise landscaping. With California’s ongoing drought cycles, designing a landscape that looks beautiful while conserving resources is a top priority. But who can you trust to balance sustainability with style?
At Hall Landscape Design, we’ve spent years creating drought-tolerant, low-maintenance landscapes across Marin County. From hillside homes in Mill Valley to modern gardens in San Rafael, we design spaces that look stunning and thrive on minimal water.
Plant Knowledge that Works in Marin
The key to drought-tolerant design isn’t just using “less water.” It’s about selecting plants that thrive naturally in our microclimates. We combine native California plants with Mediterranean species that flourish in Marin’s climate — giving you a garden that offers seasonal color and texture without constant watering.

Smart Irrigation for Efficiency
A drought-tolerant design goes beyond plant choices. We design with smart irrigation systems — including drip lines, moisture sensors, and weather-based controllers — so every drop of water is used efficiently. This not only conserves resources but also lowers your utility bills.

Lush Doesn’t Mean Wasteful
Many people assume a drought-tolerant yard will look sparse. The truth? With the right design, a water-wise landscape can feel lush and vibrant. We create layered gardens with ornamental grasses, succulents, flowering perennials, and shade trees that give your property depth, beauty, and comfort — all while saving water.
