Madroño Landscape Design Studio - San Francisco's Trusted Landscaping Services

For bare patches, we assess soil health and drainage, often recommending a switch to drought-tolerant native groundcovers or permeable paving that better handles our microclimates. For unstable rock gardens, we use proper engineering and anchoring techniques with local stone, integrating them into designs that manage slope and erosion—common issues on San Francisco's hills. Our solutions are built to last in the local environment.

Our process is integrated. It begins with a site-specific design that considers your goals, the local ecology, and regulations. For landscapes, this includes irrigation, planting, and hardscape. For structures like ADUs, we handle the construction from planning through completion, ensuring the new building harmonizes with the outdoor space. As licensed professionals, we manage all phases for a cohesive result.

Absolutely. We specialize in water-wise landscapes using California native and drought-tolerant plants. Our designs often incorporate efficient irrigation systems and stormwater capture techniques. We're certified Green Infrastructure Contractors and can guide you through local rebate programs. For ongoing ease, our maintenance services include specialized shrub care to keep your sustainable garden healthy with minimal input.
