Company Profile

San Francisco Landscapes is a licensed and insured landscaping company founded in 2007 by Brett, an artist and nature lover. Growing up near industrial Houston inspired Brett's dedication to creating greener, more sustainable environments. After discovering the Bay Area's beauty in 1995, he relocated and established a business rooted in resource efficiency, biodiversity, and local sourcing. Specializing in native pollinator habitats, drought-tolerant edible gardens, and water conservation systems like gray water and rain catchment, the company transforms outdoor spaces to support local wildlife. Their comprehensive services—from stonework and lighting to custom decks, patios, and irrigation—focus on reusing onsite materials and providing solutions tailored to San Francisco's unique climate and urban setting. As a Bay-Friendly and ARCSA-accredited professional, Brett combines artistic vision with practical expertise to build resilient, beautiful landscapes that enhance both property and ecosystem.

Q&A

How do you handle common San Francisco issues like clogged drip irrigation or shifting rock gardens?

In San Francisco's unique microclimates, mineral buildup and debris often clog drip irrigation emitters. We design systems with inline filters and flush valves, and recommend regular maintenance checks, especially after windy seasons. For rock gardens on our slopes, shifting is a real concern. We use proper subsurface preparation with stabilizer fabrics and secure larger stones with gravel backfill and strategic placement to prevent erosion and movement, ensuring your low-maintenance garden stays intact.

We're interested in a drought-tolerant native garden. Can you also include edible plants and a deck?

Absolutely. As specialists in California-native and edible garden installations, we seamlessly integrate both into a cohesive, water-efficient landscape. We can select native plants that support pollinators alongside fruit trees, herbs, and vegetable beds. For the deck, we use durable, locally-sourced or reclaimed materials where possible, designing it to complement the garden's layout and your outdoor living needs, creating a beautiful and functional extension of your home.

What does your design and consultation process involve for a full backyard renovation?

Our process starts with a detailed consultation to understand your vision, usage needs, and budget. We assess your site's sun exposure, soil, and drainage—critical in San Francisco. Brett, our designer, then creates a custom plan that may include layout, plant selections, hardscape like patios or retaining walls, and irrigation systems, including water-saving options. We present this plan, discuss material choices (prioritizing onsite reuse and local sourcing), and provide a clear timeline before any construction begins.
