Landscaping for the Hills and Creeksides of Greenbrae
Greenbrae runs from the Corte Madera Creek waterfront up into hillside neighborhoods with views of the Bay and Mount Tamalpais. The ground, the sun exposure, and the fire risk change from one street to the next, and so does our work.
The flat, tree-lined streets around Bon Air Center and the Corte Madera Creek Pathway hold the mix of commercial and retail properties that form town center. Bon Air Center, with Mollie Stone’s, Gott’s Roadside, and Peet’s Coffee, is the area’s main retail stop. These properties need sharp edges, healthy turf, and irrigation that runs on schedule to keep customers and tenants happy.
Slopes bring runoff and shifting soil close to buildings. Landesign builds and maintains erosion control, French drains, retaining walls, and fire-resistant planting to address those problems.
Greenbrae has a long HOA history. The Greenbrae Property Owners Association was formed in 1948, and smaller associations have formed since. Landesign’s Landscape Advisors work with HOA boards and landscape committees on association requirements, resident expectations, and annual budgets.
Our crews also work in neighboring areas, so one team can care for properties across central Marin.
What We Do in Greenbrae
Landesign is a full-service landscape company. You can bring us a routine maintenance contract, a full redesign, a water-use problem, or a fire-safety deadline, and one team handles it.
Your Landscape Advisor walks the property, splits it into zones, and builds a schedule for each one. That plan covers the weekly work and the seasonal changes through the year.
- Lawn mowing, edging, and turf care
- Shrub and hedge pruning timed to each plant
- Seasonal flower plantings and color changes
- Tree pruning up to 15 feet tall
- Fertilizer applications and weed control
- Leaf and debris cleanup, plus fresh mulch where beds need it
One team designs your project and builds it, so the plan you approve is the one that goes in the ground. Every project starts with a site analysis that covers soil, slope, existing plants, and climate.
- Walkways, patios, and retaining walls
- Replacing thirsty lawns with drought-tolerant landscapes
- Fire pits, fountains, and outdoor gathering spaces
- Erosion control and French drains for sloped or wet sites
- Dog parks, playgrounds, and outdoor fitness areas
Cutting water use is a priority across Marin County. California’s AB 1572 adds a legal reason for commercial, industrial, institutional, and HOA properties, because it phases out drinking water for irrigating nonfunctional turf (grass that has no recreational or other practical use).
Landesign is a Weathermatic Premier Partner. Our SmartLink controllers adjust watering to real-time weather, and our QWEL-certified irrigation technicians (QWEL stands for Qualified Water Efficient Landscaper) run irrigation audits and design water-efficient systems. Flow sensors and master valves help catch leaks early, and we offer 24-hour emergency service for irrigation problems. When a turf conversion qualifies for a local water rebate, we help with the application.
Firescaping is landscape design that lowers fire risk through the plants you choose and where you place them. The hillsides around Greenbrae and Corte Madera carry real wildfire risk, and Central Marin Fire Department runs annual defensible space and home hardening inspections here, coordinated with the Marin Wildfire Prevention Authority. Inspectors look at every defensible space zone, including Zone 0 (the first 5 feet around a structure), along with vents, roofing, decks, and fencing.
State Zone 0 rules are still under review by the Board of Forestry and Fire Protection, so Central Marin Fire is the best source for what applies to your address today. Our job is to get the landscape side ready.
- A site assessment that finds fire hazards and maps existing vegetation
- A defensible space plan built around California’s three zones: 0 to 5 feet, 5 to 30 feet, and 30 to 100 feet
- Fire-resistant plants and trees, placed to slow fire spread
- Brush clearing, weed abatement, and high-weed mowing
- Thinning and removal of dead or overgrown vegetation
- Ongoing vegetation management through the dry season and beyond
Properties We Serve in Greenbrae
Our crews work across the full range of property types throughout Greenbrae and central Marin County, including:
Local Crews, Marin County Roots
Our San Rafael service yard sits right next to Greenbrae. That means crews who know the local climate, faster response when something comes up, and a team that understands what central Marin properties require through every season, from the green of spring to the dry stretch of late summer.
Landesign’s Marin presence grew in 2013, when work at Larkspur’s 424-unit Skylark Apartments and a renovated Nordstrom at The Village at Corte Madera helped drive a bigger local footprint. Both sit in neighboring towns, a short drive from Greenbrae.
Our people also stay. Many Landesign crew members have been with the company for 10 to 35 years, which means they can spot an irrigation problem before it spreads and know the right time to prune each plant.
