SHADES OF GREEN

is a full-service landscape architecture firm serving the Bay Area and beyond. From residential gardens to large-scale projects, we make beautiful and healthy landscapes with practical and modern designs. Our award-winning team creates landscapes that are innovative by design and sustainable by nature.

OUR APPROACH

Our approach begins with studying the existing natural systems of each site to understand the opportunities those systems present.

We then deliver innovative design solutions that meet client needs while embracing the physical and cultural contexts of each site.

SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainable systems serve as the basis for each design, always keeping in mind site-appropriate plantings, water conservation and recycling strategies. 

Many of our residential projects are Build it Green and LEED certified. We are also Rescape Qualified. View some of our beautifully sustainable projects below.

Fire-resistant design.

Highest level of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED).

Drought tolerant and native plant design.

SERVICES

We work on single and multi-family residential, hospitality, and commercial projects in the Bay Area and beyond.

Our services range from planning to implementation. We handle permit documents, concept design and design development, construction documents, technical specifications, bidding, and construction administration.

ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST FEATURED OUR PROJECT

Our Secret Garden is not so secret anymore. We had the honor of designing the outdoor space for one of San Francisco’s most spectacular properties, a home that encompasses a full city block in the unique Russian Hill neighborhood.

TESSELLATE PLANTER COLLECTION

We are excited to present the Tessellate Planter collection we designed in collaboration with Loll Designs. This collection features four styles of varying height, width, and color, creating endless opportunity to play with the geometric constellations.
