What services are most useful for Novato properties?
For Novato, RNR typically leads with retaining walls, landscape construction, commercial landscaping, lawn care, and irrigation, matched to the property's slope, soil, water, and daily use rather than a one-size package. Design, construction, water, planting, and maintenance stay connected so the finished landscape keeps performing. The right mix always follows the property itself — grade, water, sun exposure, and how the space is used day to day — which RNR reads on the first Novato site walk.
What should Novato property owners check first?
Two site conditions shape most Novato projects. First: Hillside stabilization, drainage, and retaining wall planning. Second: Lawn care, irrigation, and larger-lot maintenance. RNR reviews these during the Novato walkthrough and factors them into the scope before anything is priced, so the finished plan matches how the property drains, catches sun, and is actually used.
What kinds of Novato properties does RNR work with?
Novato and San Marin-area landscapes combine larger lots, hillside pockets, family homes, commercial corridors, irrigation, lawn care, and construction needs close to the Sonoma-Marin edge. In Novato, RNR most often works with hillside homeowners managing drainage, privacy, mature plantings, and usable outdoor space, commercial and property-management clients needing tidy, safe, visible exterior care, higher-touch residential clients who expect careful access, cleanup, and maintenance planning. Residential and commercial projects both start with the same site-first walkthrough.
How does the season affect landscaping work in Novato?
Winter water, slope movement, shade, and access constraints should be reviewed before construction or planting.

RNR plans Novato projects around those windows so planting, irrigation, and construction land at the right time of year.
