Local Expertise

A deep understanding of Northern California landscapes

Climate & Ecology

We design with Northern California's Mediterranean climate rather than against it — reading each site's microclimate, soil, and light to select planting that thrives with restraint.

Architectural Context

Every estate is composed outward from its architecture, so the landscape feels inseparable from the residence — whether restored Spanish Colonial or contemporary design.

Long-Term Stewardship

The gardens we create are maintained by the atelier that built them, ensuring pruning, planting, and refinement follow the original design intent for decades.

The Invitation

Begin with a private consultation

Every Petrus estate begins with an unhurried conversation about your land, your architecture, and the life you wish to live outdoors.
