About Madroño
We design, build, and maintain locally appropriate landscapes, nurturing long-term relationships with our clients.
The name “Madroño” is Spanish for the madrone tree (Arbutus menziesii), a handsome evergreen found on wooded slopes and canyons in California. The beauty, durability, and integrity of this tree symbolizes the work of the studio: creative design, choice materials, and superior craftsmanship. With an eye on the aesthetic beauty of the Bay Area, we aim for natural symbiosis (birds and butterflies love our work too).

CUSTOMER REVIEWS
“Geoff completely revived our backyard that we went from barely using to spending hours out there every week. He is easy to work with, especially around allowing the client to customize and iterate on the design. He always was conscious of our budget and would give us a range of options at different price points. He is professional, responsive over email and text, and very knowledgeable of CA native plants and sustainable methods of landscaping to minimize water usage and use earth-friendly and high-quality materials. The plants he sourced were all high quality and the very small fraction that didn’t look great he quickly replaced. His designs for our deck and fence looked much better than we had envisioned and we are very pleased with how functional our yard is, yet also how good it looks and how true it remains to our goal of using native plants and natural materials.”
