A rustic-luxury outdoor gathering space designed by Montgomery Robbins. A natural boulder fire pit sits on a decomposed granite terrace, held by a curved dry-stacked stone seat wall. Layered, water-wise Mediterranean planting softens the edges, and a mature oak frames the view toward a red barn, white ranch fencing and rolling golden hills. It’s a Northern California landscape designed for evenings around the fire with family and friends.
Evening light shows the strong indoor-outdoor connection in this Montgomery Robbins landscape. Black-framed glass doors open onto a furnished patio that works as an outdoor living room. A crushed-gravel courtyard and low-voltage path lighting lead guests toward the home, and layered lavender, silver-leaved perennials and white blooms soften the crisp board-and-batten architecture. The result is a relaxed, elegant Northern California garden designed for evenings outdoors.
A wide decomposed granite path curves through a water-wise garden by Montgomery Robbins, layered with soft ornamental grasses, silver foliage and drifts of yellow blooms. The path ties the boulder fire pit terrace to a kitchen garden of galvanized raised beds along the ranch fencing. Mature oaks, the red barn and the hills beyond anchor this California Casual landscape in its Northern California setting.
On this Northern California equestrian estate, Montgomery Robbins designed the landscape to blend into the working ranch around it. A wide gravel drive is edged with clusters of drought-tolerant yellow blooms, and graceful, weeping trees soften the white ranch fencing without blocking views of horses grazing in the pasture beyond. The result is a calm transition between the cultivated garden and open country.
On this Northern California estate, Montgomery Robbins planted a row of silver-leaved olive trees that echoes the region’s Mediterranean climate and agricultural heritage. The grove follows the natural contour of the land and connects the designed landscape to the native oaks and open hillsides beyond. Olive trees are naturally adapted to the Bay Area’s mild, wet winters and long, dry summers, so the grove stays beautiful and water-wise for generations.
A simple wood-and-wire gate marks the move from the kitchen garden into the wider landscape of this Northern California ranch property, designed by Montgomery Robbins. The fencing keeps deer out without closing off the view. Beyond the gate, a crushed-gravel path winds past clipped silver shrubs, low-water perennials and path lighting toward the red barn, where café string lights hang over an outdoor gathering space.
This view shows the full master plan of a Northern California ranch property designed by Montgomery Robbins. A raised brick terrace extends the living space straight out from the home’s glass doors, then steps down to a fire pit terrace held by a curved stone seat wall. Ornamental grasses, purple-flowering perennials and silvery Mediterranean shrubs blend the outdoor rooms together into a warm, water-wise landscape built for everyday living and evenings by the fire.
Life on this ranch property goes well beyond the garden. Montgomery Robbins designed the landscape around how this family lives, from the fire pit terrace and kitchen garden to the paddocks and barn their animals call home, so working ranch and refined outdoor living sit comfortably side by side.
In this detail from a Northern California ranch property, Montgomery Robbins integrated low-voltage step lights into the brick risers of the terrace. The lights wash the treads and gravel path in a warm glow after dark, so the steps stay safe to use while keeping the evening atmosphere soft and inviting. Natural boulders and a dry-stacked stone seat wall around the fire pit continue the mix of refined and rustic materials.
Montgomery Robbins designed this arrival sequence so coming home feels considered from the first step. A crushed-gravel path passes through a simple wood-and-wire gate and leads straight to the farmhouse’s glowing glass doors, framed on either side by young trees, mounding silver shrubs and drifts of drought-tolerant color. A mature oak and the natural boulders anchor the entry in its Northern California setting.
On this Northern California ranch property, Montgomery Robbins uses a multi-trunk specimen olive tree as a sculptural focal point. Silvery, low-water groundcovers and bright yellow blooms surround it where the brick terrace meets the open lawn. An antique wooden wagon is kept as a nod to the land’s agricultural history, and a mature shade tree and white ranch fencing set the calm, rural backdrop.
At the entrance to this Northern California ranch estate, Montgomery Robbins designed a generous gravel motor court that connects the arrival drive to the home. Brick pillars matching the terrace paving mark the entry through the white ranch fencing. Natural boulders and drifts of purple salvia and yellow blooms soften the edges, and a towering eucalyptus grove frames the golden-hour light beyond.
Every member of the family enjoys this Northern California ranch landscape by Montgomery Robbins. Durable brick paving, soft gravel paths and resilient, low-water plantings give the family dog plenty of room to roam while the garden still looks beautiful.
On this Northern California ranch property, Montgomery Robbins designed the outdoor dining terrace and the fire pit as connected rooms for entertaining. Guests can move easily from a long family-style table to the warmth of the fire pit and its curved stone seat wall a few steps away. Soft Mediterranean planting and a citrus tree tie the spaces together under a backdrop of heritage oaks and open hillsides.
At the front of this Northern California ranch home, Montgomery Robbins designed a brick walkway and broad, shallow steps that lead easily up to a classic covered porch. The brick picks up the terrace paving, and low layers of ornamental grasses, silver-leaved Mediterranean shrubs and boulders soften the clean white board-and-batten architecture. Young shade trees will fill out over time, adding comfort to the arrival for decades to come.
The restored red barn anchors this Northern California ranch property. Montgomery Robbins designed the landscape around it to keep the property’s agricultural character while making space for gathering. An open lawn stretches toward the barn, where café string lights mark a casual spot for evening events, and a specimen olive tree, antique wagon and white ranch fencing tie the scene to the rolling hills beyond.

Nestled among rolling hills, heritage oaks and an established olive grove, this modern farmhouse landscape in Napa, California celebrates relaxed Wine Country living. Warm brick terraces extend the home’s living spaces outdoors, with a built-in grill and alfresco dining just steps from the kitchen. Softly lit brick steps lead to a curved stone seat wall and boulder-ringed fire pit, a favorite gathering spot as the sun sets over the hills. Meandering gravel paths wind through drought-tolerant Mediterranean plantings of lavender, rosemary, ornamental grasses and golden blooms, connecting the home to the classic red barn, white ranch fencing and a charming chicken coop. Café lights, layered landscape lighting and a few beloved resident animals complete this idyllic Napa Valley retreat, a showcase of the thoughtful residential landscape architecture Montgomery Robbins brings to properties throughout Wine Country and the Bay Area.
