San Anselmo is renowned for its lush landscapes, but maintaining them comes with unique challenges. The landscaping challenges in San Anselmo mirror those of nearby towns, with varied soil types and the need for fire-resistant planting due to the town's proximity to natural parklands. The town's regulatory environment is cooperative, allowing for a flexible approach to tree removal, lawn maintenance, and the use of hardscape materials. This supportive atmosphere makes it easier for residents and businesses to maintain and enhance their properties in line with both personal preferences and community standards. San Anselmo's respect for its natural environment and commitment to preserving its lush landscapes is evident in the care taken to integrate native plants and wildlife into the urban setting. This approach not only protects the local ecosystem but also enhances the natural beauty that characterizes the town.

Like its neighbor Ross, San Anselmo is located in the shadow of Mt. Tamalpais, which influences its climate significantly. The town receives substantial rainfall during the winter months and experiences warmer temperatures in the summer due to the blocking of ocean breezes. These conditions affect local landscaping and gardening, necessitating plant selections that can thrive in a microclimate marked by wet winters and warm summers.
