Landscaping in SoMa, San Francisco

SoMa — South of Market — is one of San Francisco's most transformed neighborhoods, its historic warehouses and industrial buildings now sharing blocks with residential high-rises, tech offices, and converted loft buildings. Outdoor space here is almost entirely engineered rather than inherited: rooftop decks, building plazas, and loft patios rather than any kind of traditional yard.

SoMa sits closer to the bay and away from the foggiest western neighborhoods, giving it a milder, sunnier profile that suits rooftop container gardens and plaza plantings well. Wind can still be a factor around the taller high-rise developments, similar to the Financial District, so plant selection for upper-floor decks accounts for that amplified exposure.

We work with SoMa residents and building managers on rooftop gardens, plaza landscaping, and loft-patio design suited to the neighborhood's mostly vertical, mostly new housing stock. Text us for a free consultation.
