Landscaping in Haight-Ashbury, San Francisco

Haight-Ashbury's Victorian and Edwardian rowhouses line streets running straight toward the Panhandle and Golden Gate Park, giving the neighborhood a green, tree-influenced backdrop unlike the denser blocks further downtown. Front gardens here are part of the neighborhood's famously colorful character, and many backyards — though narrow — get decent sun given the neighborhood's central, moderately foggy position.

Being close to both the park and the Panhandle's tree canopy means some Haight yards deal with shade and root competition from mature street trees, while others further from the greenway get fuller sun. Either way, the neighborhood's Victorian-era lots tend to be long and narrow, which calls for garden layouts that make a slim backyard feel bigger than it is.

We design front gardens that suit the Haight's Victorian architecture and backyard layouts that make the most of narrow, park-adjacent lots. Text us for a free consultation.
