How Landscape Design and Retaining Walls Work Together on San Anselmo, CA, Hillside Properties

San Anselmo sits in the shadow of Mt. Tamalpais, where the terrain rises and falls with the kind of character that makes Marin County so beautiful and so challenging. Hillside lots, sloping yards, and uneven grade changes are part of the fabric here. For homeowners looking to make the most of that terrain, the conversation almost always leads to retaining walls.

But a retaining wall designed in isolation often looks and feels like exactly that: a wall that was added to the property rather than one that belongs there.

That is why Heritage Landscapes approaches retaining walls as part of a complete landscape design, never as a standalone project.
