Landscaping in Inner Richmond, San Francisco

Inner Richmond's tight residential grid of Edwardian and post-earthquake rowhouses sits just blocks from the eastern edge of Golden Gate Park and the Presidio, giving the neighborhood a green, park-adjacent feel despite its density. Yards here are typically small — narrow front gardens and modest backyards — but well-used given the neighborhood's family-friendly character along Clement Street.

Being closer to the park's interior than the ocean, Inner Richmond gets a bit more shelter from the fiercest coastal fog and wind than Outer Richmond, though it's still a foggy, cool part of the city overall. That means plant choices need to handle regular fog and filtered light without necessarily being as wind- and salt-tolerant as the beachfront blocks further west.

We design compact front gardens and efficient small-yard landscapes suited to Inner Richmond's dense, park-adjacent blocks. Text us for a free consultation.
