Landscape Design in St. Helena, CA
Thoughtful landscape architecture grounded in your goals and the character of your land—from landforms and circulation to soil health and robust plantings.
Landscape design tailored to St. Helena
Our landscape design practice is grounded in millennia of land-development tradition and refined by modern ecological science. We begin with a thorough analysis of your setting and intentions, then move from landforms and infrastructure to circulation, structures, soil health, and robust plantings.
St. Helena’s premier estates call for thoughtfully master-planned grounds. Community Soil designs, installs, and stewards refined, ecologically grounded landscapes in the Upper Napa Valley—built in confident phases to suit your property and timeline.
Design that begins with listening
We offer a free, half-hour site assessment for prospective clients in Sonoma County. Once we have walked your property and heard your aspirations for it, we can describe how we would approach designing and implementing your improvements. Usually one visit is enough to know whether we are a good fit.
From intentions to working plans
To develop a custom design proposal we provide an introductory landowner’s questionnaire, conduct site research at the county level, and schedule a longer interview and site tour. For a deposit retainer, we create a comprehensive, tailored design that transforms your intentions and our observations into working plans for the whole property.
What you receive
Final design documentation packages typically include one or more schematic site plans, a planting palette, and itemized cost estimates for construction by Community Soil’s own crews. A typical site design timeline and fee schedule is 2–3 months and $5–10k from start to finished documents.
