Landscaping in Tiburon, CA

Tiburon is the southern end of our area and the most exposed. Wind coming off the bay is relentless on the ridge, and it, more than anything else, decides what will survive in a garden here.

Plant choice does most of the work: tough, wind-firm, salt-tolerant material that stays dense instead of being shredded by the first real blow. After that it is structure — terracing to make flat ground on a slope, decks and railings to use it, and planting kept deliberately low on the view side, because on these lots the view is a large part of what the garden is for. We are on this side of Marin regularly, so maintenance visits fit the round rather than being a special trip.
