The Stewards Behind the Care & Craft

At Heritage Landscapes, our work is defined by place, but shaped by people.

From design to maintenance, the same hands return season after season, bringing familiarity, insight, and care to every property we touch.

We are not a revolving crew. We are a close-knit, in-house team of horticulturists, designers, project leads, and specialists, each deeply committed to the landscapes we build and maintain, and to the clients who trust us with their gardens.

Consistency Builds Better Landscapes

Across Marin, Sonoma, and the Bay Area, many of our clients have worked with us for years. That consistency matters. It means your team knows the soil, the light, the grade, and how your landscape changes over time. It means better outcomes, clearer communication, and stronger relationships.

We bring the same level of intention to team building that we do to garden design because the right people make everything work better, last longer, and feel more human.

Family-Led. Future-Focused.

Heritage Landscapes is a second-generation company led by siblings Almora Hudson and David Gross, who carry forward the vision started by their mother, Janet Gross, over three decades ago. The name “Heritage Landscapes” isn’t just about lineage, it’s about care, continuity, and showing up with integrity.

Our oak tree logo, hand-drawn by Jan herself, remains our emblem of deep roots, lasting strength, and room to grow.

Today, Almora and David lead a team of talented professionals who represent the next chapter of this legacy. Together, we cultivate relationships and landscapes with equal respect.
