Landscape Design in Novato, CA
A yard that feels right does not happen by accident. Our landscape design work in Novato starts with the way you actually live in your outdoor space, then translates that into a plan that respects your site, your climate, and your budget. We walk your property, listen to how you want to use the yard, and come back with plant selections and layouts drawn for the Marin County growing conditions we know well.
Our process
The first meeting is on your property, not behind a desk. We measure, note sun and drainage patterns, and talk through what you want the space to feel like a year from now. From there you get a plan you can actually read, with plant lists, materials, phasing options, and a clear cost picture. Nothing is built until you are comfortable with the drawing in front of you.
Who this is for
Homeowners who care what the front yard looks like when guests pull up. Property managers who want a coherent plan instead of piecemeal fixes. Anyone who has been told to just pick from a plant list at the nursery and left the conversation more confused than when they arrived. If you want the design conversation to feel like a conversation, this is where to start.
Why Olympic Landscaping in Novato
Ten plus years of combined industry experience across Novato, San Rafael, and the rest of Marin County means the plans we hand you have already accounted for the deer, the wet winters, the dry summers, and the soil we know sits under your feet. We do not upsize the plan to pad the invoice. We design what fits the yard.
Frequently asked questions about landscape design in Novato
How long does a landscape design take?
A residential design in Novato typically takes two to four weeks from the first site visit to a plan you can build from, depending on scope and how quickly we hear back on revisions.
Do you charge for the initial site visit?
The first walk-through and rough discussion are free. If you want a formal plan drawn, we quote a flat design fee up front so there are no surprises.
Can you design just part of my yard?
Yes. Many Marin County clients start with a front yard or a single problem area and phase the rest as budget allows. The plan is drawn so future phases connect cleanly.
Will the plants actually survive here?
Every plant we specify is chosen for Novato and Marin County conditions, meaning it can handle our dry summers, wet winters, and the deer that inevitably show up.
