Reilly Designs strives to create gardens with artistic expression.

Reilly Designs is a full-service landscaping company that designs and builds custom gardens for residential and commercial clients in Marin, San Francisco and Sonoma Counties. The company works closely with its customers to design landscapes that fit their unique visions and complement their existing surroundings. It also offers complete maintenance services for properties that require special planting and irrigation.

Owner Scott Reilly says his 20 years of experience working on private and public estates exposed him to a wide range of landscaping styles and techniques, including Asian, free-form, contemporary, French, Mediterranean, English and American. “Instead of following a blueprint, I take an intuitive approach to design. I draw upon the memories of gardens I’ve walked through and experienced, and I uncover the structure of each property much like a sculptor finds form within stone.”

Reilly Designs’ expertise encompasses everything from masonry and mosaics to electrical work and carpentry. In addition to its conceptual landscape work, it creates hardscapes and builds terraces, fences, gates, decks, fire and water elements, outdoor lighting systems, pathways and more.

Company Philosophy

“We want our gardens to be as unique as our customers—somewhere they can go that brings peace and transports them beyond their day-to-day worries. We take great pride in our work, and we always make sure our clients are absolutely thrilled with the end results. Ultimately, we aim to involve them in our artistic and instinctive design process as much as possible.”

Serving all of Marin County and San Francisco including Novato, San Rafael, Mill Valley, San Anselmo, Mission, Richmond and Sunset Dist.
