About Public Landscape and Urbanism Studio

Much of western San Francisco was once open sand dune, and the long numbered avenues of the Sunset still sit on that buried shoreline. Public Landscape and Urbanism Studio brings a studio's feel for public space to lawn care, seeing each patch of grass as part of the larger fabric of a block. Turf here grows from sandy ground that drains fast and dries quickly, and keeping it trim and even is how a street starts to feel looked after. On a warm October evening, the kind San Francisco saves for autumn, the low sun runs straight down the avenues toward the ocean and lights every lawn along the way. Small greens, tended well, add up to a neighborhood.
