Modern Landscaping

Madroño Landscape Design Studio is a San Francisco modern design/build firm with an emphasis on California native plants and novel materials, creating beautiful landscapes with Bay Area identity.

Design

We bring a modern vision to every project and always seek new design answers to old garden problems. Our clients break free from cliché with vertical landscapes, stormwater capture and reuse programs, architectural fences and decks, low-voltage LED lighting, high-density urban edibles, native low-water sedges and meadowgrasses as alternative lawns, and other good ideas from our drafting table.

Build

First the thinking cap and pencil; then the hammer, shovel, and saw. We use quality materials, superior craftsmanship, and locally appropriate native plants to build beautiful landscapes for the ages.
