Landscape Architects Serving the San Francisco Bay Area and Napa Valley

Montgomery Robbins, Inc. provides luxury residential landscape architecture services for homeowners throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and Napa Valley. From hillside estates in Los Altos Hills to vineyard properties in Napa and custom outdoor living environments in Alamo, Danville, and Lafayette, our firm designs landscapes that reflect the character of each property and its surrounding environment.

If you are looking for a landscape architect in locations near you, you may be ready for a landscape Master Plan that pulls the whole property together, rather than separate upgrades. Most yards get improved in phases, so it is easy for the property to start feeling pieced together. Your yard may be attractive, but it still may not support how you want to live today. A whole property Master Plan helps avoid last minute compromises that happen when upgrades are tackled one at a time. We provide residential landscape architecture services for new builds and existing homes, with Master Planning that organizes arrival, circulation, and outdoor rooms as one coordinated property. We support new builds, major remodels, and larger landscape updates where the goal is one cohesive plan.

FAQs

Yes. Montgomery Robbins, Inc. works throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, Napa Valley, and beyond, even if your specific city is not listed here. The cities on this page represent areas where we frequently work, but they are not a complete list of our service areas. Our residential landscape architecture projects extend throughout California and, at times, locations in other states and countries.

We specialize in whole property Master Planning for new builds, major remodels, and complex updates where the goal is a cohesive, well-resolved plan. If you do not see your city listed, we encourage you to contact us. We will help determine whether your project is a strong fit and guide you to the most relevant starting point.

Hire early, before major site and exterior decisions lock in, especially for arrival, circulation, grading direction, outdoor rooms, and pool planning. When landscape decisions are made late, the project can end up with last minute compromises or disconnected upgrades. Even if the finished work looks attractive, the outdoor space may not function as well as it could. If your property has an HOA or review process, we coordinate in a practical, step by step way so the design stays cohesive through approvals. That helps avoid surprise decisions late in the process that can pull the design off course. We create a strong Master Plan, then provide builder friendly documents and clear design guidance so decisions stay aligned across your team from start to finish.
