Landscaping San Rafael CA | Call Gardens & Gables

Our integrated design-build model is particularly effective for San Rafael's varied terrain. As both licensed architects and landscape contractors, we manage the entire process—from initial grading and retaining wall design to planting selections that thrive in your specific microclimate. This seamless coordination prevents costly miscommunications, ensures structural integrity on slopes, and results in a cohesive outdoor living space that harmonizes with your home's architecture and the local environment.

Our maintenance goes beyond basic lawn care. We provide comprehensive care tailored to Marin's seasons, including organic shrub and disease management, seasonal planting, irrigation system checks, and pruning. We focus on sustaining the health and design intent of your landscape. This includes proactive monitoring for common local issues like mulch erosion on slopes and adjusting irrigation schedules to conserve water while keeping your garden vibrant.

Absolutely. These are common issues in San Rafael due to soil movement and system wear. We diagnose the root cause—often improper grading or outdated irrigation—and provide lasting solutions. This can include regrading for better drainage, installing robust, low-profile sprinkler heads in high-traffic areas, and using erosion-control matting under mulch on slopes. Our irrigation repair and design services ensure your system is efficient and durable, saving water and preventing future problems.
